Hi
Seabbex 1 and Tito Nerio use diffrent thrusters.
Seabex 1 are the old Marix Thrusters . While they work well. The weight of a brass prop will add stress to the gears. Also they use an uncoventional way the prop attaches to the shaft. This would have to be replacted in the brass prop , or the shaft in the thruster replaced. Given there desigen and limited avaibality I would not go down the brass prop route.
If you want brass props maybe look at what Oceanworks have to offer Schottel Thruster (Z-Drive) Propulsion Combo set 90mm – Ocean Works
Never use a Titio Nerio thruster so can not give any advice.

Thanks for the info,


The seabex one I recently acquired is immaculate and has never been on the water so don't want to destroy any of it.


The Tito Neri I have is still to be built, new in box so maybe I will leave seabex alone and get some for Tito Neri
