Are these props the same (Mercury Black Max vs Quicksilver Black Diamond)?

[BRG25]

Is a Mercury Black Max the same as a Quicksilver Black Diamond? Looking for a new prop...nothing fancy...aluminum 3 blade. iBoats has some good deals on Michigan Wheel also. Any suggestions?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Brian

I don't know if they are the same as I haven't compared them side by side. If I remember correctly though, the Quicksilver Black Diamand (also made by Mercury as you know) is the counterpart or replacement to the Black Max. Anyone with a Quicksilver parts book could give you a more accurate picture.<br /><br />It shouldn't be a big deal, but keep in mind that there could be many different (although small) variations of this prop - even for the same size prop. Mercury is known to make changes in their props over time. I believe the different versions are assigned various version numbers. This makes comparing 2 props more difficult.<br /><br />Michigan Wheel offers many, many props. They are known to be one of the best out there and they make originals or replacements for almost all recreational boats.

BRG,<br />I need to do a couple more test runs with my smart tabs, and the new 60lb actuators... once I get settled in, I bet I will stay with my 21P..<br />If so, I'll have this 23P and we can work something out. As you may or may not know, the company I work for has a store in Cortland, I'm not very far away.

hey dutch...<br /><br />No, I wasn't aware that your company had a store in Cortland. Speaking of Smart Tab's I just installed a set also. Maybe we can compare notes some time. I really haven't had time to adjust them very much. Let me know on the prop.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Brian

If anything you guys may be able to go up in pitch on step. Make sure the pressure adjustment is correct. You should be able to pick up 2 to 4 MPH. Call us if you have questions.
