F35 Maxprop settings

Post by Salacia »

Hi all,
I don't get the performance I think I should get from my Max Prop. I think I have had mine set at 16 degrees.
What setting do you have for your Max Prop on a Freedom 35 Pedrick?

Stephen -
I suggest you call PTI in Seattle. They are the MaxProp agents and very helpful. Give them your prop diameter, gear ratio and engine hp and your boat spec. They will recommend the best settings. Also there are good videos if you are doing the settings yourself.

BTW after a yard mechanic completely fouled up my three-blade 14” MaxProp, another yard corrected it to the recommended settings I got from those nice folks at PYI, the adjustment marks “S” and “Y”, for a 24 degrees, a pitch of 11.8. My gear reduction is 1 to 2.6.
