Outboard propellers as well as the design and development of boats have both been dramatically influenced by Technology.
The three key factors affecting performance have not changed.
Outboard Propellers are very exposed and vulnerable.
Do you enjoy the security of a spare prop on board your boat?
You wouldn't go anywhere without a spare wheel in your car ... would you?

WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW.
First
Up ... Why Buy A Propeller From Us?
Jim Calder of Boat Propellers
Australia has spent a lifetime servicing and repairing outboard motors and
sterndrives ... it goes without saying he is a well qualified technician.
Naturally ... learning
about propellers and understanding how they work was a
necessity.
This "hands on" knowledge
then became available to boaties just like you through Boat
Propellers Australia.
Boat
Propellers Australia are backed up by the technicians at the
Piranha Propellers factory in the U.S.A. so if Boat Propellers Australia dont know
the answer to your problem ... they can soon get it.
So ... why would you
not buy a propeller from us?
This website
reveals:-
Everything you always wanted to know
about boat propellers.
However if all this is a bit
confusing you can always take the easy way out by
following:-
Rule Number One. If you are happy with the performance
of your current propeller then just decide if you want a metal
or a modern (alloy or composite) prop and replace it with the
same diameter and pitch prop.
If you are not happy with
your current propeller ...
We Need To
Know Any and all
markings or part numbers either on the outside or the inside
diameter of the propeller hub.
The
maximum R.P.M. your motor will reach with your current prop
when running at wide open throttle (W.O.T.) with a "normal"
load on board.
The manufacturers
allowable maximum and minimum W.O.T. R.P.M. figure as stated
in the handbook belonging to the motor or as quoted by your
dealer.
You Should
Know To INCREASE
R.P.M. DECREASE propeller pitch.
To
DECREASE R.P.M. INCREASE propeller pitch.
Generally speaking the following
rule of thumb can be applied to propellers.
Reducing the pitch of your propeller
by two inches will ussually produce a 400 R.P.M. increase in
your engine speed.
You could say the
R.P.M. will increase or decrease by 200 R.P.M. for every inch
of pitch by which the prop is either increased or decreased
but since most propeller manufacturers offer props which
differ in pitch by two inches at a time we use the 400 R.P.M.
analogy.
Similarly ... changing the
diameter of your propeller by one inch ... either up or down
will ussualy produce a 200 R.P.M. decrease or increase in your
engine speed.
How To
Order. So armed with
all this knowledge ... go to our "contact us" page and
click on the e-mail logo under the importer ... or the dealer
of your choice.
If you know the size
of the propeller you need then ask for a quote. If the price
is acceptable to you then order a propeller and supply your
telephone number and the best time to call you.
If you are not sure what you need
then just give us all the details we need to know but again
... supply your telephone number and the best time to call
you.
After which we will call you to
confirm the details in a secure environment. Allow about two
days for your prop to be delivered.
It's Really That
Easy.
P.S. Don't forget ... we offer a thirty day money back
satisfaction guarantee on our composite props ... plus a
lifetime warranty on the propeller hubs.
