Hey TRJB, you’re correct on all accounts. The only thing I disagree with is that I lost top end mph with the turning point. The conditions of the test were, unfortunately, different and we have to account for that. I did “lose” 2 mph but I also had 3 additional people + gear in the boat. I need to get out on my own but I would hazard a guess that I will easily see 45-46 under the same optimum conditions as with my alum. spitfire.

I will say that I have no plans to test the merc stainless spitfire due to the fact that they seem to want over $500 for it. At the price point the turning point express mach 4 is the best prop I’ve tested in all aspects.

Kyle, did you buy your Turning Point prop from their website or somewhere else? I had a Turning Point on my previous boat and it outperformed all others, so I’m a fan. My boat is similar in size and power to yours, so I’d be willing to go with the same set-up you have.
Thanks for sharing your results and information.

I got the white rubber replacement net from Cumings. Really like it so far and the customer service has been superb.

I’ve had this issue a couple of times. Both times were in rough conditions on Lake Erie, including yesterday in 4 footers. While using the auto pilot mode , I lost steering, which creates a problem, especially when trolling, so it’s not a “non-issue”. The head pops up and out of the notch. I called Minn Kota this morning and they said to either replace the deployment spring or just remove it. The rep also said it was unique to the newer models.
BTW, it’s just plain rude to hijack threads. The OP was looking for an answer to a legitimate question, and responses got all over the place because of it. If you want to talk about something else, please start a new thread.

Best bargain? Duracell AGM 31s at Sam’s Club.
Best Overall? Odyssey 31s. Extremely pleased.

I would assume since they have only been in production for a short period of time the corrosion isn’t an issue……yet.

I have a 2015 F 150 , which was the first year they went to the aluminum oxide body. The frame is steel. I had my truck rustproofed as I have with all my vehicle. There is not a spot on this truck. It also has the 2.7 Ecoboost V6 and the MPGs are very good and it tows like a champ! Very happy with the truck. BTW, rest assured if it was a 2015 Ram, there’d be evidence of rust by now.
