ANODES Keeping a quality sacrificial anode on a Max- Prop is critical to ensure a long life. Galvanic corrosion occurs in marinas; it is simply a fact of life. Protection is a necessity. PYI keeps anodes in stock for both our current propeller lines and for our older propeller models. Our anodes are cast with a strong metal ring which helps in dispersing the current loads, thus providing better propeller protection. As some EPA rules are changing and in some States zinc is prohibited, PYI also manufactures aluminum anodes which are available upon request.
GREASE KITS A Max-Prop should be greased yearly, at a minimum. The propeller has a pair of grease ports on the hub, the grease gets pushed into the prop at these 2 locations with the use of zerc fittings and a grease gun. This operation can be done out of the water during scheduled haul out or in the water by a diver. PYI sells the grease independently or as part of a "Grease Kit" which contains: grease, a grease gun, and a few spare screws and zerc fittings.
CRUISING KITS For the long distance cruiser who needs a complete set of spares, PYI sells a "Combo kit" which contains a year or more supply of parts (grease, zincs anodes, screws).

factory standards. This is caused by wear to the spacer or central conegear. To solve these problems a new spacer or congear will be machined to fit your propeller and tighten up the play. Another point of wear is the central hub. This is typically caused from lack of maintenance or excessive use and abuse. This can also cause vibrations. If significantly worn, we can replace the hub to tighten up the propeller. The last step in the Max-Prop reconditioning process is to balance and polish the prop. Your reconditioned propeller will look like new at a much lower cost.
BEFORE
If your Max-Prop is out of balance it could be due to wear or a galvanic corrosion problem, causing the blades to wear thin. Our Max- Prop reconditioning technician can either spot weld or re-sheet the entire blade to bring it back to tolerance and balance.
