Throttle Up Raises the Bar
#31
The rake angle is a little less on our props than a Maximus. Typically when you get into the higher pitch range boats usually don't need as much rake in the props. This is due to many factors including boat design.
The Maximus prop has a lot of cup in the tips of the blades. Keep in mind that Mercury needs to make a prop that out of the box will work on a wide variety of boats. Hence their props have to be made so they will fit a wide range of applications. Mercury sells the same props to boat manufacturers and their props need to work on all of them.

Before Throttle-Up came out with the CNC props, every set of props we ordered was a gamble.....and every prop had to be tweaked.
Now, with CNC machining and finishing you are guaranteed that left hand prop will be exactly like the right hand prop. You can also be assured that if you need to replace a prop, the new prop will be an exact duplicate of the previous one.
No more guessing, no more time and money wasted on testing and tweaking.....you get the exact same prop every time.
70% of the time we put on the race boat has been testing...and 80% of that time was for checking and tweaking props. With the CNC props, once you have your setup...your done.
Com'on oyster beds, sand bars, and underwater monsters...eat my props. I can get another set exactly like these.

Thanks Ken. We will spend the day today at the 10th street boat ramp in Sarasota testing, testing, testing. We will be testing on several race and pleasure boats further validating the performance of our CNC props.
Looking forward to finalizing the dialing in on your boat, Ken.

I didn't see anything that said call for prices.

My bad. I'll sit down and go back to my drink now.
