Want To Try P5-Xs
 

I would like to try some 28 or 29 P5-Xs on my boat, before buying them or going back to standard length drives?
Can anyone help?
Thank you,

I really like these props, but as far as I know you have to buy from Hydromotive and then have so many days to return for an exchange. I think there is quite a hefty fee if you just return them. Bblades has a much better trial program, such doesn't sell hydros.

I wonder if BBlades has something comp. to P5-Xs?
Anyway, thanks for info

We have the Mercury Maximus and the some of the Turbo 5 blade props for testing. These props are direct competitors to the P5X.

It sounds like you're going to need some sort of 5-bladed prop. I almost went back to a standard length lower...I could hardly get on plane with a Bravo 4-bladed prop after intalling the -2 shorty IMCO's. I then tried some P5X's and popped right up on plane and never looked back since.

Hey Brett,
Whats the diff. in the Max's and the Turbo 5?
Also can you give me a idea on $ ?
I was told the Max's are pretty tough on standard Bravo 1s

P.S. Thanks KAAMA, your makn me feel a whole lot better about buying these shortys !

Hydromotive let's you buy them, test them, and then return them for a small restocking fee. Can also exchange for a different pitch if needed.

Yeah to what Cullen said. I started out with some 28" P5X's and ended up with some 30's.

Hi KAAMA,
What hp, boat length, and gear ratio you turnin 30s ?
Thanks,
Darren

I have a set of 27 P5X Hydro's excellent condition 1,500
