MAX-PROP Automatic Feathering Propellers
THE STORY Max-Prop was designed and built in the early 1970’s by Maximillian Bianchi in Milan, Italy. Max, a young Italian engineer, invented a new type of propeller at the request of a sailboat racing friend in the golden days of the IOR racing rules. Little did he know at the time, this simple product would become his lifelong passion and livelihood. To this day, Max still oversees any new development of the product and follows it all the way through the manufacturing process. It is hard to believe, but Max quality checks each and every propeller that comes out of his factory. Nowadays, his son and daughter work with him, so the legacy will continue long after Max retires...if he ever does. THE FOUNDRY In order to keep the metal quality to a constant high standard, Max bought a foundry in the mid 70's. To this day, the majority of Max-Prop cast parts are made in that foundry near Lake Cuomo, a two hour drive from Milan. The ownership of this foundry not only resulted in high quality cast parts, but also insured that any defect in the material or the part would not be passed on to the next stage of machining. This vertical integration is one of the main reasons for the success and durability of Max-Prop. THE MACHINE SHOP The actual machining of the propellers has always been under the full supervision of Max, from the early days of manual lathes and mills to the ultra-modern CNC machines of today. Through the years, the machine shop has had multiple locations and currently is in Milan, in the same building as the sales offices, management and where the final assembly of the Max-Prop occurs. Once again, Max himself oversees each and every process. SALES OFFICE PYI is the only sales office for Max-Prop in North/South America and Asia. Since then, PYI has added products which are well known in the sailing community, some as a manufacturer and some as a distributor. Through the years, Max-Prop has been the driving force for PYI, allowing us to facilitate the manufacturing of other quality products.

Benefits of a Max-Prop Propeller BENEFITS
VERY LOW DRAG UNDER SAIL Under sail a Max-Prop will increase sailing speed between 10% to 15% compared to a fixed blade propeller, the largest difference being noticed when sailing in light air. The drag under sail varies widely between propellers, number of blades, angle of the shaft as well as location of the propeller on the boat. It is fair to say that a 2 blade Max-Prop propeller located on a horizontal shaft (sail-drive) will have the least drag while a 5 blade Max-Prop on a high angle shaft will have the most drag. However, even a 5 blade Max-Prop on a high angle shaft will have substantially less drag and provide more power when motoring than a fixed 2 blade propeller.
Whether purchasing, refitting, or re-powering, a boat owner is faced with a somewhat confusing choice of propellers: fixed bladed, folding, feathering, brands, material, number of blades. It becomes daunting. So why choose a Max-Prop?
RELIABILITY IN OPERATION Max-Props are "feathering propellers". Unlike folding propellers, Max-Props do not rely on centrifugal force to open. Instead, the Max-Prop relies on the torque from the shaft rotation acting on the "differential" type gear design in the body of the propeller. This in turns ensures an immediate opening in forward and more importantly, in reverse, unlike folding propellers which have a lag time in reverse.
RELIABILITY OVER TIME Through the years, Max-Prop propellers have acquired a flawless reputation for reliability and longevity. It is not uncommon to see a boat built in the 70's or 80's still using its orginally installed Max-Prop. A simple check on the internet would allow you to see the renowned reputation of Max-Prop. While we all wish that we could sail all the time, a propeller is a very important part of any sailboat. Sailboats end up powering a substantial amount of time and sometimes, in an emergency, we have to use our engine. In times like this it is critical to know that your propeller will open and will function as designed. Max-Prop has proven that time and again for decades.

EFFICIENT IN FORWARD While not always as efficient as a perfectly sized fixed propeller, the right choice of Max- Prop diameter, pitch and number of blades will usually achieve 96% or better efficiency compared to a fixed blade propeller. This maximum of 4% drop in efficiency is only seen at maximum throttle, which is seldom, if ever, used. The fact that with a Max-Prop, a boat owner or a designer can choose not only the diameter and number of blades of the propeller but can also adjust the pitch easily after sea trials makes the Max-Prop an ideal tool to fine tune a boat’s performance under power.
EFFICIENT IN REVERSE The simple fact that the Max-Prop blades use the same leading edge and pitch in reverse as in forward results in identical power in both directions. A fixed blade propeller loses almost 50% of its power in reverse. Worse yet - a folding propeller which, depending on the brand, can lose up to 80% of its power in reverse. The Max-Prop blades switch from forward to reverse instantaneously. It takes only ¾ of the shaft rotation for the blade switch to occur.

EASY ANTISHOCK For SailDrives
A large majority of modern production sailboats are equipped with a "SailDrive" leg instead of a propeller shaft. These "SailDrives" require a different type of propeller for two reasons: • The attachment of the propeller needs a spline instead of a taper. • The gears in the leg cannot take the shock loads of low drag propellers opening (true for both folding or feathering propellers). Therefore all propellers, including fixed propellers, must have a dampening device built in the hub which lessens the shock loads initiated by the propeller opening or closing.
The Max-Prop "Easy Antishock" for SailDrive is designed to fit on any drive leg on the market today including Volvo, Yanmar, Bukh, and Twin Disc. This propeller system greatly reduces the shock load upon engaging the transmission which remains much lower than all SailDrive manufacturers maximum load requirements.
The installation of a Max-Prop "Easy Antishock" is identical to a fixed blade propeller. FEATURES
• Easy bolt on installation • Externally adjustable pitch
• Outstanding reverse • Low drag under sail
Max-Prop SailDrives Fit These Manufacturers and More!
DAMPENING DEVICE A dampening device is installed internally on all Max-Prop "Easy Antishock" propellers. This dampening device is essential for preventing shock loads while engaging the drive in forward or reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PITCH If your engine achieves either too much or too little RPM at max throttle, adjust the pitch to a higher or lower setting to attain the correct RPM. Pitch adjustment can easily be done in or out of the water. To change the pitch just remove the pitch bolt and replace it with one of a different length.

WHISPER Available From 18” - 48” Diameters, And For 1¼” - 3½” Shaft Diameters
FEATURES
The size of sailboats has been increasing steadily over the past few years. With the larger size comes the demand for bigger engines and higher speed under power, while keeping noise and vibration down to a minimum. To that affect, Max-Prop has designed a 5 blade propeller, combining all the necessary attributes. To address the horsepower gains, Max-Prop has added one more blade. This allows the transfer of power in the water in a more efficient way than the only other alternative - a larger diameter - while keeping noise to a minimum. In addition to the increased power, the extra blade provides a smoother run than a 4 blade propeller.
• Very efficient power • Outstanding reverse and stopping power • Ultra smooth operation • Very low drag • Simple bolt on installation • Externally adjustable pitch • Best suited for heavy displacement cruisers over 50 feet • Ideal for large yachts 70 to 150 feet • Available from 18" to 48" diameter • For shafts 1¼" to 3½"
SIMPLE INSTALLATION Due to the design of the Max-Prop Whisper, installation can be done in or out of the water with the simple bolt on installation.
LOW DRAG A 5 blade Max-Prop Whisper on a high angle shaft will have substantially less drag than a fixed 2 blade propeller and provides more power while motoring.
EASY PITCH ADJUSTABILITY
If your engine achieves either too much or to little RPM at max throttle, adjust the pitch to a higher or lower setting to attain the correct RPM. Pitch adjustment can be done in the water as the propeller does not need to be disassembled to change the pitch.

BOOMERANG Available From 18” - 44” Diameters, And For 1¼” - 3” Shaft Diameters
For decades, feathering propellers have operated as a result of the water flowing over the blades, combined with some friction of the shaft and/or transmission.
In recent years, radical changes in sailboat engine transmissions have created new issues for propeller manufacturers. These include the advent of hydraulic transmissions as well as the electronic gear shifting. In both cases, the transmission (whether in gear or not) presents almost zero drag on the shaft when the engine is not running. Some shaft drag is always necessary for a propeller to either fold or feather. However, with these new types of transmissions, there is no drag and the helmsman does not have any mechanical way to slow the shaft down from freewheeling when the engine is stopped. To that effect, the Max-Prop engineers have invented a patented radial spring which is incorporated inside the body of the Boomerang model. This spring solves the feathering issues by forcing the blades back into a feathered position as soon as no torque is applied to the shaft. Once the engine is either in idle or shut down, the blades will feather within seconds, regardless of the shaft rotation or the boat speed at the time.
The Boomerang model has been in testing since 2016 and has already been adopted by many European boat builders.
FEATURES
• Assisted feathering • Very efficient power • Outstanding reverse and stopping power • Ultra smooth operation • Very low drag • Simple "bolt on" installation • Externally adjustable pitch • Available from 18" to 44" diameter • For shafts 1¼" to 3" • Maintains feathered position in high speed, turbulent operation
SIMPLE INSTALLATION Due to the design of the Max-Prop Boomerang, installation is a simple bolt on and can be done in or out of the water.
LOW DRAG A 5 blade Max-Prop Boomerang on a high angle shaft will have substantially less drag than a fixed 2 blade propeller while providing much more power while motoring.
ASSISTED FEATHERING
The Boomerang does not require water flow to feather the propeller. The internal spring brings the propeller to the feathered position. Perfect for use with electronic shift mechanisms and hydraulic transmissions.

FOR CATAMARANS Catamarans are increasingly popular styles of cruising sailboats. Catamarans in general, present issues under power or sail which are different from monohull sailboats. The usual advantages of the Max-Prop are accentuated on a Catamaran. The reduced drag under FEATURES • Improves control and safety of the vessel • Very low drag under sail Available From 18” - 48” Diameters, And For 1¼” - 3½” Shaft Diameters
• Reduced turbulence over rudders under sail • Improved tacking speed with reduced drag • Overcome windage inherent to Catamarans • 80% more power in reverse compared to a fixed propeller • Models designed specifically for SailDrive • Adjustable pitch to optimize powering performance • Available in 2, 3, 4 or 5 blade
sail not only improves boat speed but it also reduces turbulence over the rudders, providing improved boat handling. This reduction in drag also allows a boat to come through a tack quicker, and with more boat speed exiting the maneuver, making it easier to sail in light winds. With the increased beam and freeboard of a catamaran comes the downside of high windage. The impressive reverse power of the Max-Prop adds to the control and safety of the vessel when maneuvering. Max-Prop offers the propeller in 2, 3, 4 or 5 blade versions. This allows the boat owner to pick the amount of power desired with a given engine, with very little trade off.

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).
SERVICES MAX-PROP RECONDITIONING PYI Inc. has a full Max-Prop reconditioning service that is capable of repairing and reconditioning your Max-Prop. We can bring it back to life, whether from normal wear and tear, a blade bent in half, or damage from corrosion, most damage can be repaired.

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.

KIWIGRIP KiwiGrip is a revolutionary, water-based non-skid coating. It is easily applied and extremely durable when fully cured. KiwiGrip provides a beautiful, customizable texture and color that can be applied over a variety of substrates. After preparing the substrate, KiwiGrip is spread with a foam brush or notched trowel over the application area. A roller is then used to provide the desired texture (no fillers or aggregates needed). As the delivery agent (water) evaporates, the plastic acrylic resin will fuse together and form a strong, durable non-skid coating. KiwiGrip is flexible after drying and effortlessly covers minor imperfections in the substrate. FEATURES Non-Skid Coating Apply over wood, fiberglass, epoxy, concrete, metal or most other sealed surfaces. Originally designed for boats but also perfect for other applications like parks, sidewalks, construction projects and any other surfaces requiring non-skid. NON-TOXIC Non-toxic, no volatile solvents, very low VOC. Cleans up with soap and water. DURABLE Once properly applied and fully cured, you can expect to get 3-5 years in heavy foot traffic areas before any touch up is needed. Because there are no fillers, KiwiGrip will wear evenly throughout its life and once some touch up is needed, simply clean the surface and re-apply additional KiwiGrip to the desired texture. Along with long lasting durability, KiwiGrip has very low glare properties and extremely high UV stabilization contents. The result will be a long lasting, beautiful and safe surface year after year. • Water based, non-skid coating • Low-glare, IR reflective finish • Non-toxic, no volatile solvents • Easy to apply USES

COLOR OPTIONS KiwiGrip is available in five stock colors: white, cream, light blue, light grey and black. Most colors (excluding black) were chosen for their low heat absorption.

TINTING KiwiGrip can be tinted using most water-based tints found at your local paint dealer, making it easy to color match almost any project. Lighter custom colors are easily achievable. It is recommended to add no more than 2.5% tint to the white KiwiGrip base so some darker/vibrant colors can be difficult to match. If too much tint is added, the paint will become watery and lose its non-skid properties. KiwiGrip stock colors were chosen to minimize heat absorption when exposed to direct sunlight, providing a finish that will be comfortable to walk on in any weather condition. Please contact PYI, Inc. for detailed tinting instructions. CUSTOM COLORS KiwiGrip comes in 5 stock colors but can be easily tinted should you be looking for something custom or when trying to match an existing topside paint or color theme.

TIPS & DRY TIMES
Maintain deck and ambient conditions as shown in each zone before allowing KiwiGrip to get wet. 1. Do not apply KiwiGrip if conditions are expected to fall outside application window before KiwiGrip is fully dry. 2. Application in direct sunlight and in hot conditions significantly reduce tack time. (Add up to 10% water to extend tack time). 3. Drying time in cold conditions is significantly extended. (Moving air from a fan or breeze will shorten drying time).

JEFA STEERING SYSTEMS Complete Steering Systems
Jefa Steering is a world leader in sailboat steering with their systems on some of the most prestigious and recognized production boats in the market. With four different steering methods available, Jefa steering always has a solution for your boat.
STEERING WHEELS Jefa offers a complete line of steering wheels to fit every sailor’s need and preference. The stainless steel, flat, “Destroyer” wheel has become the modern standard sailors are used to seeing on many boats. “Destroyer” wheels are available up to 1,200mm diameter. Tandem spoke wheels are available from 900mm to 1,800mm. Stainless steel wheels are also available with leather covered rims. Aluminum wheels are available when you want to save weight at the helm. These wheels come finished in black or white powder coating with a leather covered rim. Available in diameters from 700mm to 1800mm. GRP and carbon wheels are the next steps in weight saving technology while adding style to the boat and reducing steering effort for competitive sailors. GRP wheels are available in white or black 900mm and 1,000mm diameters. The Jefa wheel selection is rounded off with teak rimmed wheels with stainless steel spokes and custom hybrid wheels made with carbon fiber and wood. Teak rimmed wheels are available in 700mm to 1,200mm diameter.
CABLE STEERING Traditional Choice For Sailboats
The Jefa Chain and Cable system has many advantages over competing brands in the market. Jefa’s quadrants and sheaves are not made from cast-aluminum like most other quadrants available. As most quadrants will also function as rudder stop, quadrants can have very high impact loads. Cast aluminum is brittle and could easily break under these circumstances. All Jefa quadrants and sheaves are fabricated from high strength Aluminum 6082. This material is enormously strong, while retaining high ductility (Jefa Marine produces rudder shafts from the same material), resulting in an extremely strong quadrant arrangement. The quadrants always have twin high precision CNC milled tracks with deep groove depths and large guide bend radii, ensuring a reliable and long lifetime of the cable. The twin track arrangement offers flexibility while installing and adds the possibility of crossing the cable between the helm station and quadrant instead of crossing the cables inside the pedestal.
RACK & PINION STEERING Ideal System for Aft Cockpit Sailboats
Jefa’s Rack and Pinion system is a robust steering system that will provide a direct and solid connection from the helm to the rudder. With a 5:1 mechanical advantage at the wheel, along with a proportional reduction as steering loads increase, this system is an immense upgrade from a traditional open wire steering system. The Rack and Pinion system also offers the advantage of being extremely easy for a professional or skilled do-it-yourselfer to install. Made up of no casted parts, the machined seawater resistant solid Aluminum 6082 pedestal will not corrode, even when it’s exposed by surface damage. The robust powder coated aluminum base has no mounting holes for pedestal bolts as these are integrated in the pedestal deck flange. This avoids multiple weak points for damage with the accompanying corrosion and possible leaking.

| JEFA STEERING SYSTEMS
TRANSMISSION STEERING Ideal System for Center Cockpit & Larger Sailboats The Jefa Transmission Steering System (TSS) is based on the same principals as a Rack and Pinion System with a direct and solid connection to the rudder. The rotation of the wheel is transferred to a push pull movement via gearbox and levers. With the TSS system, the distance between the wheel and the rudder shaft can be much larger and the routing more complex, which makes it the ideal system for center cockpit sailboats. Via torque tubes, universal joints, and bevel gearboxes, the rotation is transmitted to the reduction gearbox next to the rudder shaft. The reduction gearbox transfers the rotating movement into a push and pull movement on the tiller lever. As all rotating parts use roller bearings, and the system can be easily back driven by the rudder, the steering system provides the same precision and feel as a tiller steered boat, but with a helm that can be placed away from the rudder.
HYDRAULIC STEERING & PEDESTALS Jefa offers a complete line of Hydraulic Steering
Systems featuring Jefa’s pedestal, wheels, and other components. The hydraulic components offered by Jefa are supplied by Lecomble & Schmitt (L&S) Hydraulic Steering Systems. L&S adds over 70 years of hydraulic steering experience to Jefa’s expertise; to deliver the reliability, styles, and function to boats that require Hydraulic Steering Systems. We are able to offer you single source pedestals, helm pumps, cylinders, and autopilot pumps.
ACCESSORIES Make it “Your Boat” with Jefa’s complete range of accessories. Your Jefa helm station is the focal point of on deck control and activity aboard the boat. Select the Jefa accessories to position controls and display them where you want for safe convenient operation. Jefa also offers a range of cockpit tables for on deck dining and entertainment as well.

JEFA RUDDER BEARINGS Complete Steering Systems
Beginning in 1980, Jefa Rudder & Steering Systems has supplied Rudder Bearings to over 40,000 boats.
Jefa Rudder Bearings offer the utmost in feel and durability. Utilizing captive roller bearings in rugged aluminum housings, there is a full range of sizes and styles, including self aligning bearings, to suit all sizes of sailboats. RETROFIT BEARINGS Jefa offers replacement and retrofit bearings for many boats built using bearings that are no longer produced. We have replacement bearings for many U.S. built, and European boats. These include J-Boats, Beneteau, Express, Bavaria, Santa Cruz, Dehler, Olson, Moody, and many more. Jefa also produces replacements for old Harken rudder bearings which precisely match the original outer dimensions. Available for 2”, 2½”, 3”, 3½”, 4”, and 4½” rudder shafts.
STANDARD & SELF-ALIGNING BEARINGS Jefa produces Self-Aligning Bearings for rudder stocks engineered to flex. Self-aligning bearings also eliminate the need for precise alignment during installation. Standard or Non Self-aligning bearings are available at a lower cost and normally have a smaller outside diameter.
ROLLER BEARINGS All Jefa Rudder Bearings are produced with precision machined rollers and close tolerances to provide smooth operation under load. The close tolerance allows Jefa to eliminate the roller cage needed with sloppy bearings and keep the design simple for long term reliability.
TO ORDER VISIT WWW.PYIINC.COM OR CALL 425-355-3669 PLASTIC VS. ALUMINUM Whenever possible, Jefa uses engineering plastic below the waterline. This offers a durable bearing while helping to eliminate electrolysis at the waterline and near antifouling paint.

TOP RUDDER BEARINGS Rudder Bearings with Rollers for Tiller Steered Boats
TYPE 42000 Top Roller Bearings for Rudder Shaft Diameters 35mm - 350mm
The 42000 series bearings are suitable for all types of hull material. This type of top bearing can also be used on tiller steered boats. The rudder head will rest on the delrin ring, in this way achieving vertical locking. In yachts with a steering system a locking ring on top of the bearing will take care of the vertical locking. A special type of the 42000 series bearing (42... STP) with integral stops in combination with our tiller heads is available in 35 and 40mm. On this bearing, the top of the rudder stock and locking ring stand out above deck. For a flush mount, one should choose the bearing type 42000Z. TYPE 5T000 Self-Aligning Top Roller Bearings for Rudder Shaft Diameters 30mm - 120mm The 5T000 series bearings are low-cost self-aligning top bearings for light to medium loaded applications. As there is no aluminum inner housing between the rollers and the ball, the working load is lower that the 4SF000 type bearings. These bearings can be used in applications with relative bigger diameter rudder shafts like aluminum and carbon rudders. This type of top bearing can also be used on tiller steered boats. The rudder head will rest on the delrin ring, achieving on this way the vertical locking. A special type of the 5T000 series bearing (5T...STP) with integral stops in combination with our tiller heads is available in 35, 40 and 50mm. When the yacht has a steering system, a locking ring on top of the bearing will take care of the vertical locking. On this bearing, the top of the rudder stock and locking ring will stand out above deck. For a flush mount, one should choose the bearing type 4S000Z. The 4SF000 series bearings are suitable for all types of hull material. This bearing type combines a very simple installation with a very smooth operation under all circumstances as the bearing will always be aligned to the rudder shaft. The bearing consists of an aluminum outer housing with an inside sphere turned out. A one piece delrin ball is located in the sphere and is sealed to the outer housing by an O-ring. The inner housing is pushed inside the delrin ball and also sealed with an O-ring. This construction creates a watertight situation between the rotating inner housing and the fixed outer housing. On this bearing, the top of the bearing, the rudder stock and locking ring stand out above deck. For a flush mount, one should choose the bearing type 4S000Z or use it under deck. TYPE 4SF000 Self-Aligning Top Roller Bearings for Rudder Shaft Diameters 40mm - 299mm
Rudder Shaft Diameter (35mm - 350mm)
Rudder Shaft Diameter (30mm - 120mm)
Rudder Shaft Diameter (40mm - 299mm)
TYPE 6BF PETP Self-Aligning Top Roller Bearings for Rudder Shaft Diameters 80mm - 200mm
The 6BF PETP Self-Aligning Roller Bearings are designed to be mounted as top bearing in a GRP or metal tube like Jefa 6D bearings. The bearing is made of PETP (also known as Arnite, Ertalyte, Sustodur & Ultradur), so it doesn’t contain any metals. The bearing ball can be easily dismounted out of the housing for installation safety or replacement if any future damage may happen.
