Question for the outboard guys

[Boatracer36]

Hey have any of you guys tried the new MAX5 prop from Mercury?

I have a set of RH and LH BBlade Blasters that are too small for my 300XS' with the DBR kit... it might be what you need. I bought them for hauling people around havasu in the summer but still too much RPM. 28 Pitch I think but I'll be in Havasu over Thanksgiving if you want to give them a try. I only put about 5-6 hours on them.

If you are interested in a set of LH RH labbed merc cleavers in 34", I'd be interested in those 28" blasters.

Appreciate the information. All the other boats I have had were hand controls so I tend to favor those, especially after having the ZE controls on the DCB. Made the boat so much nicer to drive. As more and more newer boats are built with the outboards and the hand controls I think it will become more of the norm. It's a pretty expensive endeavor to change over so it might take a while before I really decide to pull the trigger. I need to get a ride in that F26 with the twins on the back to see if I would like a set up like this.

I was on the fence about my In control split foot pedal/trim pedal in my boat, which is odd because all of my boats have been foot control. Some days I liked them, other days I didn't. After I spent about 30 hours in the boat, I started to like them more and more. The throttle portion has become entirely second nature now and I like the quick adjustment ability between throttles by rocking my foot. The foot trim however, still isn't second nature. I still find myself trimming the motors with the finger trim.

I bet it will grow on you.
