Two Blade Classic

  • Streamlined original design

  • 35 years of proven performance and reliability

  • Lowest sailing drag of any feathering propeller

  • Outstanding reverse power

  • Internally adjustable pitch

  • Requires haul out for installation or pitch adjustment(or a trained diver)

  • Ideal for racing boats and smaller cruising boats

The original Max-Prop was designed in the early 70’s for the high tech race boat market. Since proving itself in the racing arena, the Classic Max-Prop has earned its way into the mainstream market as the leader in low drag propellers. Today you will find the Classic Max-Prop on a wide range of vessels from 25 foot daysailer to 100 foot race boat. With over 30 years of proven performance and unequalled reliability the two blade Classic is a great choice for a lighter vessels.

Features:

  • Efficient Power:

In forward the Max-Prop will offer 96% of the efficiency of a fixed blade propeller of the same diameter and pitch. The 4% loss in power can usually be eliminated by precisely matching the pitch of the Max-Prop to fit the boat engine combination. With the large blade area of a 2 blade it will power as well or better than any low drag propeller on the market.

  • Outstanding Reverse:

the Max-Prop provides 80% more power than a comparable fixed blade propeller. The Max-Prop utilizes the same leading edge in forward as it does in reverse giving the propeller the same thrust in both directions dramatically improving control and power in reverse.

  • Unequaled Reliability

: With over 35,000 Classic Max-Props in the water, the Classic Max-Prop has become a legend in the sailing community for its durability

  • Very Low Drag:

Under sail the Max-Prop will increase sailing speed by about 15%, the largest difference being noticed when sailing in light air. When sailing with a fixed propeller the vessel has to overcome the fixed blade drag, installing a Max-Prop maximizes sailing performance.

  • Internal Adjustable Pitch:

All Max-Props have adjustable pitch settings. The Classic is adjustable in 2 degree increments. This can be done in minutes by disassembling it and reassembling it to the new configuration.
