MAXIMUS - Mercury racing
 

Did someone tested this propellers in a Cigarette 38 ?

From Mercury HP

" The recently introduced Maximus five-blade is working it's way to being one of the best performers for step bottom boats offering incredible slip reduction capabilities... translation, eye popping planing performance, jaw dropping mid-range speeds and with many applications increased top end speeds over the Bravo I propeller.

The Maximus is offered in 15 5/8" diameter for go fast step Vee bottoms with high "X" dimension. This large diameter coupled with shortening the diffuser ring is a Poker Runners winning combination. The 15 1/4" diameter is offered specifically for the Shortly Sport Master where gearcase clearance is critical. The 15" diameter is a must for the awesome performance Cats and part of the recipe for top end numbers is to also remove some of the diffuser ring minimizing stern lift all to hit the big numbers. Pitch range is 24" through 35" in one inch increments.

The Maximus was introduced a few years ago, so it is not new. I will say though that I have seen them on the 38' Top Gun...which we are now using CNC 6B propellers with great success on newer hulls, with more aggressive drive heigths.

We developed the Maximus in the early 2000's. We finalized the Lab recipe in 2004, just prior to my leaving Mercury Racing. The standard Lab recipe was changed 3 times by Merc Racing only to go full circle to the one we finalized before I left.

BBLADES has always used the recipe I finished even though it required more labor.

There are countless options to this propellers usability and modifications. We have found sucess with it on 38 cigarettes to DCB's, Fountains and Formulas.

We have the propellers in stock for testing if you wish.
