The boat propellers are the single most important accessory on a boat. As a safety precaution and to ensure you don't waste any of your valuable leisure time it is recommended that you keep two boat propellers on board at all times - one in use and one for emergencies. However, owning two boat propellers shouldn't be an uncomfortable expense. Check out our huge selection of boat propellers at prices of up to 35% off retail. Leisure time on your boat is too precious to risk wasting it with a broken or damaged propeller. Weekends last longer with spare boat propellers.

We sell boat propellers in both high-grade aluminum and stainless steel, which provide the best defense against corrosion. All of our boat propellers feature one piece casting for maximum strength and durability.

All about boat propellers

Choosing the right boat propellers to best suit the type of boating you do can be difficult because of the many options to choose from and variables to isolate. The first choice is the type of metal. Then you must choose between 3 or 4 blade boat propellers or the less common 5 blade models. After choosing type of metal and number of blades you must choose the right diameter and pitch to best suit the type of boating you are planning on doing. Diameter and pitch are usually denoted in the name of most boat propellers as "D x P". If you have questions about which boat propellers are right for the particular type of boating you are planning please contact one of our customer service representatives at 508-791-4917.

Aluminum boat propellers

Aluminum boat propellers are typically less expensive then stainless steel models, but may not offer the durability or rigidity of stainless steel boat propellers.

Stainless steel boat propellers

Stainless steel boat propellers offer the advantage of increased durability and reduced flexing of the blades while in use.

3 blade boat propellers

3 blade boat propellers offer enhanced acceleration and better top end speed.

The diameter of a boat propeller is the distance from the center of the propeller to the edge of the blades.

Diameter

The diameter of a boat propeller is the distance from the center of the propeller to the edge of the blades.

Pitch

Pitch is the distance, which boat propellers move forward with one rotation of the propeller. Pitch can be increased if the trailing edge of boat propellers are cupped or curled. Most modern leisure boat propellers feature cupped or curled edges because this not only increases the speed at which the boat can travel but also reduces cavitation.
