Correct Marine Propellers
, 08 09th, 2010
Composite and plastic propellers are generally used for emergency situations. Aluminum propellers, being the most common, have reasonable durability for most applications.
Stainless steel propellers are stronger than most all other propeller materials. Some advantages are longer life and high hydrodynamic efficiency derived from stiffer blades.
The correct size marine propeller is important because of the rpms that the engine will turn, if your marine propeller is not the correct size your boat motor will have to turn to higher rpms for the boat to perform properly which can cause engine damage.
If your boat has one engine the prop will turn clockwise and if you have two motors one propeller will run clockwise and the other will run counter clockwise and this will help the boat steer easier and keep the boat level.
