Maxum members southern nv/az

Always curious if there are other members out of the water with us out here? Have spotted a couple nice maxums out on lake Mohave but there seem to be very few of them out on the water.

Just thought I’d wrap this up with my update. This worked out better than I could have wanted! Idle control is just a touch better but the motor runs surprisingly better in that it revs noticeably...

Lol the freezer? Took my wife with me when I ordered it (mistake) when they salesmen asked what color I wanted I knew it was over. If there was a more expensive option I’m sure that one would have...

Definitely look into it, it’s a multi piece design from the factory. I have one for my 1800 sr and it all snaps on and builds from the Bimini.

1800sr props?

For the price thinking it would be a good one to test out, especially for a low pitch that gets used 3-4 times a year.

My current prop I know is a mercury, is it worth taking it to a prop shop...
