Hello all.
I recently bought a new Beta Marine 35 saildrive engine.
i am now in need of a new propeller.
I have a 43ft 'Gitana 43 ' sailboat.
There seem as many propellers as there are opinions on propellers.
However I am seeking your opinions now!
questions, 2 or 3 blade
fixed or folding (almost certainly folding)
supplier?
Type/pitch?
Thoughts on how to come up with the answers to the above questions also very welcome!
Many thanks in advance to you all.
Fair winds.
James

Hi Daria,
It is good to know that Max Prop was so actively concerned and helpful. That means a lot to me in a company. In 3 Max props over the decades, I have only dealt with their distributors, who have also been excellent.
Greasing underwater sounds like a silly thing to do, but I also needed to do so in the Bahamas one season, so it is good to spread around the word that this is possible.
