Max5 Outboard Propeller Mercury 15.25 x 22.5 LH 8M0156435

The 15-inch diameter MAX5 is offered in a pitch range of 23 to 34 inches in one-half inch increments. One-half inch pitch offerings enable engines to be dialed in to their maximum rpm operating range for enhanced throttle response, optimized cruise fuel efficiency and top speed. The stainless steel prop features the patented Mercury® Performance Vent System® (PVS®) which allows the operator to fine-tune the amount of exhaust venting needed for quick planning.

Performance Vent System (PVS): Features Mercury’s patented vent holes so users can fine-tune exhaust venting to achieve fast, clean planing.

Lab-Finished Quality: Hand-crafted and tuned with custom blade thickness profiles and matched cup heights by the Mercury Racing Propeller Lab.

Key Features:

The key benefit to the Max5 outbaoard propeller series, is minimize slip, hold more water, increase speed and optimize mid range performance when engines and drives are mounted at very high transom heights.

The 5 Blade Max5 Propeller is designed to drastically reduce slip, hold more water at extreme engine heights, increases speed and optimize mid range cruise. The Max 5 is often refered to as a stepping stone between the Bravo and the CNC Clever. With the Bravo you could see 18% to 20% engine slip with higher engine heights with the Torq Master gearcase. With the Max5 15 inch you can reduce engine slip to 8% - 10% and the 15-1/4 inch can reduce engine slip up to 6-1/2 percent with the higher engine heights which results in picking up speed with the Max 5.

The Short Tube Max5 offers a 3/4" shorter tube resulting in settling the stern. Anytime blades are added to a propeller, the results are more stern lift. TO minimze the stern lift, the Max5 short tube was introduced.
