Help identifying prop

Hi there

Could someone help identify this prop? It’s on a mates boat he has just bought. It’s a feather long prop and we could do with the manual

Thanks

Re: Help identifying prop

This is a 3-blade MaxProp Classic, missing the protective anode cap on the end. I am attaching images of my own MaxProp to verify. This is a self-feathering propeller with a range of pitch that can be set, and reset, during disassembly and re-assembly. They are very good propellers and quite expensive to buy. Parts and support are available from PYI Inc., at https://www.pyiinc.com/

They are great people to deal with, and can supply both parts and manuals for your propeller. An interesting item: because the faces of the blades are symmetrical and the blades reverse their pitch when you go into reverse, the propeller generates just as much thrust in reverse as it does in forward. PM me if I can be of further help.
