When you plug in a minn kota charger it allows you to choose which type of battery charging profile on which bank/lead.
I have mine set to charge my cranking/electronics AGM on lead #1 and 2,3 and 4 set to charge my LiTime lithium trolling motor batteries

Just put three in my boat and am more than happy with them
Eh
Big Al’s flightline kitchen at Lakenheath could dish out a case of the chits with the best of them.
Now the old diner out hwy 26 going through Fort Benning out towards Buena Vista used to serve a damn good burger.
Think they called it the “Ranger Burger”
Good times

Good to know
In retrospect I had forgotten about one incident about 6 months ago where the wind pushed me in on a bank as I was getting back in to load up on the trailer. Hit the prop at idle on an unseen rock near the dock I was moving away from and IIRC roughed up one blade worse than the other two. Blended it when I got home and never thought about it again until yesterday on the drive home from getting a new prop.
Expensive lesson
(insert head-banging emoji)

Right there with ya
Don’t think the Merc props and the Yammies are interchangeable due to the hubs. But in all honesty I couldn’t vouch for that.
And 69 is plenty fast. If I had it to do again I’d probably get a BC Puma and give up those few mph for a wider front deck. Eyra is kinda narrow and tippy up front and I’m not getting any younger.
At least you can chip your Yammy if need be.

Maybe. It’s what most BassCats come from the factory with. Probably the same reason I had a RoadRunner in HS and not a Pinto…. ;)
I’m heading down to get a new prop today. Hope to pull the old one when I get back and check it out tomorrow to see what kind of fatigue/stress the remaining blades are showing. Will make for an interesting wknd.
Still looking at getting a Bravo. If for nothing else, just to compare the two.
Son of a guns are not cheap, I’ll say that

[quote]I mean, a 4 stroke engine. XS vs FS on the Bravo.[/quote
Gotcha
250 pro 4-stroke.
When I researched them I found the FS , while designed for four strokes, was being used more on heavy hulls like multi species boats etc.
The XS has a shorter hub and while designed more for high performance two-strokes also works best on faster hulls running the pro xs four-strokes. Just losses a couple of mph on top vs the Fury 3, but better everywhere else… or so I hear

So its a cycle fatigue thing?
To a degree I’m guessing
I never overtrim and don’t use a hydraulic jackplate so surfacing the prop is not a potential cause on mine. Don’t hammer down all the time, just on occassion. Never hit anything with the prop worth mentioning other than idling through the occassional standing timber at idle speed. And the tiniest nick or imperfection I always touched up before next trip, not that there was ever anything that caused a dent , etc.
Just a by- product of having a Fury performance prop I guess…

Sweet, would be interested in hearing what you determine the root cause to be.
When they designed the Fury they yhinned the blade profile to the point they had to go to a different metal/alloy. Harder steel usually can be more brittle in general, so any porosity or stress risers inherent in the casting make for a bad condition. Couple that with the torque the new Merc four strokes make and it’s a matter of “when”, not “if” things go to chit.
FTR…. 178 hrs on engine/prop

Don't you have a 4S?
Naw
Came with 24” Fury 3 from factory. Rep at Classic took me for a drive and got her to 79.8 mph with both of us ( half fuel, med tackle and both of us 225 lbs plus) so I know the set up was right and stuck with the Fury. Know I’ll lose a couple mph with the Bravo but sounds like it is superior in every other way… especially keeping all it’s “ears” :)-

Common issue with the Fury if you run them too high on your Jack plate.
Factory settings never touched. Manual jackplate
Will probably be replacing it with a Bravo 1 XS, 26- pitch. Seems to be a better prop, not as hard/brittle
And being a metallurgist I’ll be able to check if it was indeed a bad casting from the factory. ;)
Fury prop slung a blade
Posted by AUTimbo on 3/18/26 at 8:25 am
Had read about Fury props slinging blades a few weeks back. Both the 3 and 4 blade versions.
This one decided to do it after an 18 mile run. For those wondering.. hit nothing while running. All other blades and skeg were clean as a whistle.
Made for a fun, vibration-filled limp back to the ramp at 26-28 mph.
And of course the warranty went out last year on the prop…. BOHICA. :(

Yeah maybe, but what Chyna doesn’t know is that our blades aren’t for windmills, but for MOAD’s
