The 17-inch pitch is the lowest in the 15-inch Black Max family — a good starting point for heavier boats or applications where better hole shot matters more than top speed. The most common customer issue is not verifying the gearcase type before ordering, particularly on 90–115 HP engines where Command Thrust and standard gearcases require different prop sizes. Also confirm whether your engine needs a different Flo-Torq hub kit, as the included 835257K1 does not fit all applications.
