Articles Featuring Piranha
|
By Don Garrison
Second in a series of propeller technology articles: July, 2003
Last month I addressed propeller performance as a function of diameter and pitch. This month, lets take a look at both the physical and financial performance (and pitfalls) of the most common materials used to make propellers.The perfect prop is made of a material I call unobtainium and it has all the ideal properties any good boater coul...

The four-bladed Comprop's low price and excellent performance make it a worthy contender, but the Piranha three-blade allows you to change blades and pitch.
When it comes to performance, composite propellers can certainly hold their own when pitted against their stainless-steel and aluminum counterparts, we learned this lesson well in our last propeller comparison (July 2000). For example, the two plastic props tested (a three- and a four-blade fr...

Thanks for a good product. I received your product for my 90hp Yamaha — it was fine. The service and quick response was excellent.

Experienced boaters rely on Piranha
for boat propellers that beat competitors' props.
How do our boat propellers work?
Our
propellers feature a functional, modular design - which allows you
to change damaged blades individually, as you need.
The key to the patented Piranha Propeller is the hub. The
center hub consists of a high-strength aluminum core, molded over with
our specially-formulated composite material, Verton.
The hub is designed to take the shock of the propeller's impact, which
means you no longer experience spun hubs. We are confident in our
virtually indestructible hubs, which is why we back them with a
lifetime warranty. Our replaceable
blades are made from the same high-strength composite, perfectly
balanced, and precisely pitched - giving you a blade 15% stronger than
die-cast aluminum.
We recognize the high cost of replacing and repairing your lower unit,
which is why Piranha engineers designed the hub, blades, and materials
to absorb impact energy - protecting your prop shaft and gears.
