[C38] Propeller upgrade?

[1derful at comcast.net]

Max, 
that's what mine does.......pulls to port in reverse and starboard in forward................that's how I turn it around ..........just switch back and forth ........reverse-forward.........only work when there's little wind and little current.]

Patrick, I use it a lot to get into my slip, but luckily for me, the propwalk pulls the boat on the right direction for me (port).  If I had a LH prop, it will be very hard to play against the tide into my slip, since the stern will be going to starboard.    
With the Max prop I just get less prop walk, but I still have some.  
In some cases, like close calls at unfamiliar marinas) I wished I have no prop walk at all   😁 
 Sometimes is very useful.  Sometimes not!!

I like prop walk.  I can turn my boat around without moving forward or backwards. 
I also like it when docking...........put it in reverse and gently bring the stern in.

Hi Pierre, I hace a three blade MaxProp Easy, which is their new model.. 
Great under sail and under power.. Less prop walk and lots of punch when going against the weather...

I have the original Universal 5424 engine and was wondering if there's any reason to upgrade the propeller. I'm mostly a day sailor but San Francisco Bay is usually very windy with lots of current and chop etc.
