Boat Propellers should be one of the most important items on your marine accessories list because a damaged boat propeller affects how your boat operates but also can damage your out drive as well as. The four most used materials used to manufacture boat propellers are aluminum, stainless steel, composite and brass, aluminum and stainless steel being the most common material used to manufacture boat propellers. Make sure you use the correct size propeller for your boat because the wrong size can greatly affect the performance of your boat.

nuing to use a damaged propeller can cause damage to the gearcase and ultimately the power head of your motor. When a propeller has sustained damage, it will not spin true, thus creating excessive vibrations that will transfer all the way into your motor.
A damaged propeller will also not perform as well as a new propeller because the damaged parts of the blade can degrade hydrodynamic efficiency
Stainless Steel Boat Propellers is harder to damage than aluminum but aluminum will give which will not damage your drive as easy as stainless steel.

y would we use stainless steel boat propellers on our boat well the reason is that stainless steel is very rigid and keeps it designed shape when boating and most important they keep their shape at high speed or when we are pulling someone, also they last longer in salt water and if we hit something the may not sustain damage. Even though their price is higher in the long run you should save money because of the longer time they will last.

hy not run a damaged propeller?
Continuing to use a damaged propeller can cause damage to the gearcase and ultimately the power head of your motor. When a propeller has sustained damage, it will not spin true, thus creating excessive vibrations that will transfer all the way into your motor.
A damaged propeller will also not perform as well as a new propeller because the damaged parts of the blade can degrade hydrodynamic efficiency. Their are many boat propellers on the market to purchase so their is no reason to use a damaged propeller.
