Re: 5 Blade, SS Prop; "Try a prop"

[jerry-ahrens]

I haven’t worked for a dealership for several years now, but I know Mercury Marine used to have a similar program. Their props were painted blue. They were to be loaned to the customer along with a deposit, to pay for lost props or other damages. If you liked the prop ,then you could purchase a polished one. These props were painted bright blue in color. The paint was applied right over the polished surface. Of course the blue ”loaner props” were not to be sold and were for demo use only. At the dealership where I worked, most of those blue props seemed to disappear over the years. I’m sure they were shined up and put on sales boats or whatever.
As Dan stated, the High Five is a great prop for water ski applications, with instant acceleration. They are not a speed prop.
