New Mercury Enertia Eco props
 
Anyone had any experience with them on SC? A couple of guides told me they were saving a ton of money (fuel savings) since they switched from Power Tech props to these new Mercury props. 12% average better fuel consumption at cruise was a number thrown out. Just curious before i spend money on new props.

Lots of data on THT, mostly running twins. A few single outboard rigs too. They indicate that the mid-range cruise savings of 10% or more is real. Several say top end is solid. I have not run one, but you may want to check THT. Good luck.

I just placed the order on a pair this evening. 300 mile range can be extended another 30 plus miles with these props from what I read. That is huge.
