Why Your Propeller Matters
Your propeller is one of the hardest-working components on your boat. Even minor damage can reduce performance, increase fuel consumption, and place unnecessary strain on your engine and drivetrain.
.
Signs you may need a propeller replacement include:
- Vibration while underway
- Reduced top speed
- Poor acceleration
- Increased fuel consumption
- Difficulty getting on plane
- Visible dents, cracks, or bent blades
- Excessive engine RPM without increased speed
- Damage after striking an underwater object
Ignoring propeller damage can lead to more expensive repairs involving your prop shaft, bearings, transmission, or lower unit.
