How To Buy A Prop



Think about it ... Ever since you damaged your boat prop you've been pre-occupied have'nt you?

You know you need a new prop but you don't know where to get it in case it does'nt work properly ... is'nt that right?

Not to worry ... we'll help you.

o.m.c. Tohatsu First up, you need to decide if you want a prop that's composite, aluminium alloy or stainless steel ... we supply them all at Boat Propellers Australia although the composite prop is our favourite.

For those of you who don't know :- the composite prop is made from a material called "Verton" which is a mixture of fibreglass and nylon. The propeller hub is guaranteed for life and the propeller blades are replaceable. Just say dad likes to fish while the kids like to ski ... there is no need to carry two propellers. If you carry a spare set of blades of a different pitch then you could easily swap the blades for the other set in minutes, without special tools, and you can do this anywhere you wish.

Is the motor noisy enough or is it too noisy indicating the prop needs more pitch? Does the boat get up on the plane quickly enough or does it labour and take a while to get up.

P.S. One reason for liking the Piranha prop is that if the blades are the wrong size (pitch) ... we'll swap them for you to help you acheive optimum performance ... talk to Jim.
