Frequently Asked Questions


Q: How Do I Know What Propeller to Use on My Boat? 

A: To determine what propeller to use on your boat, refer to your owner's manual. If you no longer have a paper copy of your manual, search for one online by inputting your boat engine, horsepower, manufacturer and year. You can look directly at a propeller to identify its size, diameter and pitch. The numbers will look something like "3 by 18.75 by 19," where the "3" refers to the number of propellers, the "18.75" refers to the inches in diameter and the "19" refers to the pitch.


Q: What's Faster, a 3-Blade or a 4-Blade Propeller?

A: A 3-blade propeller is faster than a 4-blade propeller because it has less surface area and thus has less drag at high speeds. However, a 4-blade propeller will help you get on plane faster and maintain it easier than its 3-blade counterpart at a lower RPM. Both types of propellers have advantages and disadvantages to consider when making a purchase.

   

Q: Is a Stainless Steel Propeller Faster? 

A: Yes, a stainless steel propeller will help your boat accelerate quicker than other alloys. Stainless steel propellers have less flex and are known to outperform aluminum propellers by up to five miles per hour at top speeds. A stainless steel propeller can also improve the performance and handling of your boat at high speeds.
