Fequently Asked Questions

 
If the props are stronger than aluminium wont they cause damage to the lower unit if I hit something?
 
No, the blade may be damaged if the impact is violent enough. The blade is designed to absort the majority of the forces exerted without transfering this to your lower unit.
 
Are composite materials as good a Stainless Steel?
 
There is no arguement that a Stainless Steel prop provides excellent performance and durability, but it comes at a significant cost. Many industries now use composite materials in the manufacture of parts, particularly the aircraft industry. The reason, they provide outstanding value, durability and reliablity.

I heard that plastic props do not work as good?
