Technical Information.

Components And Assembly Of A Piranha Propeller.

  Piranha Boat Propellers

Are manufactured in the U.S.A.   from a nylon based composite
  material which is 15% stronger than Die-cast Aluminium yet the
  blades are able to flex on impact providing a greater degree of
  protection to your expensive lower unit.

The versatility and simplicity of changing blades makes standard
   die-cast aluminium propellers a thing of the past.

  Propeller Repair Made Easy.

You now repair a damaged boat propeller quickly and easily
  restoring peak performance and perfect balance in minutes with
  no special tools.

  This feature alone is an enormous time and money saving benefit
  to boat owners. It's well worth considering when thinking about
  boat propeller selection.

  Material:

  Piranha Propellers are made of Verton, which has a
  tensile strength 15% greater than aluminium. Verton is
  comprised primarily of long fibre fibreglass and nylon.

Tensile Strength Comparisons.

Verton	42,000 p.s.i.
Die-Cast Aluminium	36,000 p.s.i.
Other Composites	26,000 p.s.i.

  Piranha Propeller Hubs:

  The hubs have a core of High Strength Extruded Aluminium,
  over moulded with Verton and we offer a LIFE TIME WARRANTY   on the hub.

  Damaged Props:

  Because of Verton's high tensile strength, we have been able
  to design our blades to absorb impact energy generated by a
  strong propeller strike. This feature protects the lower unit from
  internal damage.

  If a Piranha blade is damaged, the operator of the boat can
easily replace it themselves with very basic tools for around
$30:00.

  In the case of a severely damaged propeller, the Piranha
  system allows the operator to renew all the blades for much
  less than the price of a new propeller, remember the hub
  is guaranteed for life.

  So ... after the initial purchase the most an as new repair
  will cost is around half the price of a new propeller

  Balanced Boat Propellers:

  We have one mould for each of our blade sizes. For example,
  each 1419A blade will come from the same mould making
  every 1419A blade identical in size, shape and weight.

  Repitch:

  With a Piranha boat propeller, you can repitch a boat prop for
  half the cost of a new propeller. Spare blades to repitch or
  repair the boat prop can store easily on board the boat.

  Remember ...
even three spare blades cost much less than a
  new spare aluminium boat prop.

Piranha boat propellers are available in three blade style to fit most outboard motors and sterndrives from 280hp down to 9.9hp ... some brands even as low as 6hp.

Three and four blade boat propellers are available to fit outboard motors and sterndrives between 70 and 280hp ... including the Volvo Penta Duo Prop System.

See for yourself why a Piranha boat propeller is becoming the propeller to have on your boat.
