BUYING GUIDE

Finding the Perfect Propeller for Your Boat

We know that choosing a propeller can seem complicated, but don’t worry! Here’s a simple guide to help you find the one that suits your engine and needs.

Step 1: Check Your Engine Information

You will find the essential information on the engine's nameplate or in the manual:

  • Engine make and model.
  • Engine power in HP (Horsepower).
  • Recommended maximum RPM (revolutions per minute).
  • Number of splines: Check the number of teeth/splines on your engine's propeller shaft.

Step 2: Refer to Our Practical Chart

No need to be an expert! Use this chart to choose the right propeller:

Engine Power (HP) Light Boat Versatile Boat Heavy/Fast Boat
2 to 20 HP Pitch: 6"- 8" Pitch: 8"-10" Pitch: 10"-12"
25 to 60 HP Pitch: 10"-12" Pitch: 12"-14" Pitch: 14"-16"
75 to 150 HP Pitch: 14"-16" Pitch: 16"-18" Pitch: 18"-20"
175 HP and above Pitch: 18"-20" Pitch: 20"-22" Pitch: 22"-24"

? Tip: The higher the pitch number, the more the propeller is optimized for speed. A lower pitch improves acceleration.

Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

Step 3: Choose Between Aluminum and Stainless Steel

  • Aluminum: Cost-effective and standard, perfect for normal use.
  • Stainless steel: Higher performance, more durable, recommended for fast or heavy boats.

Step 4: Check the Number of Splines

Each propeller shaft has a specific number of splines (or teeth), usually between 10 and 15, depending on the engine's power and model.

  • Ensure that the chosen propeller has the same number of splines for a perfect fit.
  • This information is provided in the product descriptions on our site.

Step 5: Order Online with Ease

  1. Select the category with the corresponding number of splines: Our propeller categories are organized by the number of splines for your convenience.
  2. Check compatibility with the specifications in the product description: Ensure the propeller matches your engine's specifications. If in doubt, consult your mechanic, who understands your needs based on your boat and usage.
  3. Add the item to your cart and place your order: We ship worldwide, and orders are dispatched the same day or the next day, depending on the time of order.
