It’s the time of the year when colder temperatures arrive and people begin to store their boats for the winter but not the Commercial Fleet. This is why Olympic Propeller is hard at work meeting the propeller and equipment needs for the commercial market. You should review status of your current propeller and related propulsion items to ensure proper operation. We can assist with a cost efficient propeller in 3, 4 and 5-blades both foreign and domestic. Companies like Michigan Wheel, VEEM and Hung Shen offer scientifically CNC manufactured propellers to meet the ever growing need of the Commercial Fishing Industry. Come by and chat with the boys to find out how to save fuel just by using the correct propeller for your application.

We will be offering the lowest propeller prices EVER so you have an opportunity, especially with our low price guarantee, to get an excellent deal on high quality new propellers during the show. We look forward to meeting with you so please stop by our NEW BOOTH Location #801 during this 3-day event.

We sell a lot of full taper hub length propellers and sometimes these propellers will hit the strut if the shaft line is to short?

Typically when a new shaft line is set up, the correct length shaft will require 1 x shaft diameter to be exposed before start of the big end of taper typically for shafts 3.00” and smaller. For shaft lines over 3.00” it’s up to the builder to determine the length required.

Example: If the shaft diameter is 2.00" than 2" should run thru the strut before the start of the big end of taper.. If you have a Sea Ray for instance where the big end of shaft taper is right at or  inside your strut and you have purchased a full taper hub length propeller you will have to mill off the forward end of propeller hub in order for it to fit up tight on shaft and not hit the strut barrel…
