Torque Shift Props

[jamiewashere256]

Anybody ever tried one of these? Supposed to be pretty killer on the hole shot. Check out the video on thier website. This 140HP boat nearly jumps clean out of the water? What do you guys think? http://www.land-and-sea.com/marine/torque-shift/torque-shift.htm

I checked these out years ago (actually it was Quicksilver's for Mercruiser) and really was interested.<br /><br />Couldn't get one for my Mercury with 4.25" gearcase and Land & Sea doesn't offer it either so I've sortta dropped the idea.<br /><br />Looks impressive although it's expensive

Did you watch that video?

Re: Torque Shift Props

No, I'm getting an error from the site.<br /><br />Still I have faith in it since the investigation I made then.<br /><br />The only drawback I heard of was that it needs to be used - tends to get stuck from marine growth if sitting too long.

If I remember right, I think Bondo uses one of those props, he spoke highly of it. maybe he'll see your post and reply in person.

You're interest may fade a bit when you get the price.

Yes, the price is extreme. When I checked the Quicksilvers (not a discount brand, 'eh?) I thought it had a printing error on the price tag.<br /><br />Once I realized that it wasn't available for my motor I just lost interest.<br /><br />BTW: In our market a HighFive sells for $991 and the shifting prop is even more (yes, nine-nine-one -ninehoundredninetyone US dollars for a 5-blade stainless original Quicksilver prop for 4.25" gearcases - and thats after the latest reduction as it was $1190 )
