Did You Know?
Piranha's propellers offer the unique ability to change
their pitch far beyond a normal aluminum or stainless
steel propeller — 5 times more in most
cases!
Durability
Piranha uses superior engineering thermoplastics. Every
Piranha Propeller is made from a fiberflass reinforced
nylon resin - which is not unlike the material used in
your fiberglass boat. The composite propeller is built
tough. Our propellers are 15% stronger than die-cast
aluminum, have lower vibration, and improved impact
properties.

The Piranha Propeller Hub
A Piranha Propeller's hub is designed in a unique way,
such that it will not slip like a conventional
aluminum or stainless steel propeller. At the center of
a conventional propeller, the rubber bushing will
degrade over time, causing the hub to slip. The core of
the Piranha Propeller hub is manufactured from high
strength aluminum, with a durable composite shell over
molding. The hub is so durable, we offer a lifetime
warranty and will replace any damaged hub that is
returned to the factory.

The Boat Propeller Challenge
Your boat's propeller is one of the most critical elements to your
boat's performance. If your current propeller is dinged, bent,
slipping, or out of balance, your are potentially damaging your
lower unit and definitely losing potential performance. Replacing
the entire propeller is painful, rebuilding a conventional propeller
runs between $80.00 and $150.00, and usually leaves you
without a propeller for weeks.
Our solution to this is the Piranha Propeller. The average cost to
repair a Piranha Propeller is just $40.00, and will take you
only five to ten minutes.
Purchasing a quality outboard propeller can be very challenging.
Propeller designs come in overwhelming sizes and configurations.
Selecting the wrong propeller is expensive and time consuming, which
makes finding a boat propeller a chore.
Our goal at Piranha is to help you make an educated choice, and get
the right propeller for your outboard motor or sterndrive. Piranha
fits outboard and inboard / outboard applications - and has the
solution to your individual propeller needs.
Our knowledgeable techicians are available to assist you in the
proper selection of your new Piranha Propeller and answer any
installation questions. We also feature the automated Piranha Prop
Finder, which you can access here on our site, helping you find a
propeller in the comfort of your own home!
An Alternative Approach to Propeller Repair
Metal propellers are repaired by welding, heating, beating, and
bending it back into shape - and that's in cases of only light to
mild damage! A skilled propeller repair shop can do this possibly
once or twice before the propeller has to be retired. Even a perfect
repair does not return the propeller to it's original conditon. The
repaired propeller has been weakened by the heating and cooling
process, which increases the likelihood that the propeller will
crack and fail under load. Pitch and balance are also affected by
propeller rebuilding, which may have adverse effects on it's
performance and vibration.
Piranha Propellers changed all this by developing a propeller with
replaceable blades - completely revolutionizing propeller repair.
Damaged blades are simply replaced in minutes, restoring the
propeller to factory condition. No need to end your day at the lake
- Piranha allows you to continue having fun!
It is also worth mentioning that when your propeller gets hit, more
damage is done than just to the propeller. The propeller shaft and
drivetrain can also be damaged by a severe propeller strike. The
material used to manufacture the Piranha Propeller absorbs the
impact much better than an aluminum or stainless steel propeller,
essentially eliminating the possibility of lower unit damage.
Piranha has now saved you thousands of dollars in lower unit repair.
Piranha works with commercial operators saving many thousands of
dollars annually, by lowering repair costs all around the lower
unit.
