Whether you have an aluminum or stainless steel propeller, it is very important that you carry a spare prop on your boat. "Well I never hit anything" Those are famous last words. Imagine being out on the lake and an all of a sudden - Whack!!! You lose 2 blades after hitting a submerged log. But now you nearest marine center is 50 miles away. Even if they are close, maybe they don't have the prop you need.
There goes the precious boating weekend. Spare boat propellers are as important as a spare tire in your car. Boat props are crucial to your boat, they don't go anywhere without them. With the interchangeable hubs today, it is rather inexpensive to carry a second aluminum propeller.
Carrying a second boat propeller doesn't have to mean just having a spare in case.... If you are into water sports, or carry extra people on board, a second propeller of a lower pitch will help compensate for the added weight and drag to increase performance. It will also increase your fuel economy, and we all know gas isn't exactly cheap these days.
So when purchasing that new propeller, take into consideration all the things mentioned here. Make sure you have that spare! If you don't know what prop you need, use our Prop Wizard program to help you select the right boat propeller!

What are propeller vent holes?
Why do some stainless steel propellers have vent holes?
Vent holes are holes behind each blade designed to aid in the hole shot of a propeller. When accelerating from neutral, these holes allow some exhaust bubbles to flow through and flood the blades. The prop is then spinning through more turbulent water, thus gaining RPM's and speed more quickly. After approximately 1000 RPM's, the exhaust flows rapidly enough that is will bypass the holes and flow through the hub, eliminating any further slippage from the holes.
This performance feature can only be found in stainless steel propellers. However Turning Point is the only one to offer this feature in aluminum propellers as well.

WHICH BOAT PROPELLER IS BEST?
Aluminum vs. Stainless Steel
The decision between purchasing an aluminum or stainless steel propeller can be difficult. However if you fully understand the differences between them, your decision can be much easier.
The most common understanding of the difference is that stainless steel propellers perform better than aluminum propellers. This is only half true. Material (Stainless vs Aluminum) only accounts for approximately 10% of the actual performance of the propeller. The other 90% of performance is in the blade design.
Well designed aluminum propellers will out perform an average stainless steel propeller. So it's important to research a propeller's performance before your purchase. It is also important to try different pitches and brands to get your boat dialed in to the best possible propeller.
The advantage of a stainless steel propeller over aluminum is durability. Stainless props can withstand more of the damage caused by small rocks, sand, or other loose objects in the water.
However, the disadvantage to a stainless propeller is that there is “minimal give" to the blades, so if you hit an object hard enough, there is a possibility of causing major damage to your lower unit is increased greatly. With aluminum props, the blades will most likely sacrifice themselves before any damage is caused to your lower unit.
If you run in deep or familiar waters, or in salt/brackish water, a stainless steel propeller can be a good choice. But it is important to always carry a spare propeller on board, and a spare aluminum prop is an inexpensive choice.

Boaters love Hustler Propellers
Here is a testimonial left to Turning Point Propellers, Inc regarding their Hustler propeller.
Joe
New Jersey
"I am a customer who you recently bought a used Hustler Propeller 23 pitch, going toNew Jersey
Reason, for writing you this e-mail is two -fold.
(1) The propellers work as per your companies claims and are a real value. Customer service and support, top notch.
(2) I wish a big retailer would start carrying these props, WEST Marine, BOAT US. Boaters World, made a big mistake by dropping your line.
Please, feel free to pass this message onto any buyer who may not feel that your props live up to your company claims. I have a perfect example of the average boat most people own and the advantage of this prop, value and performance.
Boat: 1998 Four Winns RS ( 18ft sport model)
Engine: 5.0 Volvo ( 220 H.P.)
Outdrive: Volvo SX
With standard OMC prop: 23 pitch topped out @ 49 MPH ( W.O.T.)
With Hustler Aluminum 23 pitch tops out @ 56 MPH ( W.O.T.)
The boat gets on plane faster and definitely feel the boat pulling much harder out of the hole. I am sure this is because of the cupped blades. Turning, on a dime. OMC, could not hold into a turn like this prop.
I use my boat in a river, that drops into bay and eventually leads out to the ocean where I go as far as 10 miles outside. This isNew Jersey
Keep up the good work guys. Love your product and great service."

Aluminum Props with special designs
Rascal aluminum boat propellers are specially designed for lower horsepower motors. These aluminum boat propellers maximize the performance of smaller horsepower engines. Rascal aluminum props are the only aluminum propeller for small horsepower engine that have a scientifically designed cupping system to reduce any ventilation problems that occur with other boat propellers. Turning Point has also added more blade area and pitch progression to ensure that Rascal aluminum propellers are the best propellers available.
Hustler Mid Range and High Performance aluminum propellers are also unique. The Mid Range boat propeller series offers increased blade area so work boats, pontoons, and jon boats can perform better. Hustler Mid Range propellers offer increased fuel economy, faster speeds and better handling over original equipment aluminum propellers. The Hustler High Performance series aluminum boat propellers share similar design patterns to that found in stainless steel propellers. The increase rake, pitch progression, blade area and cupping provide stainless steel-like performance from an aluminum boat propellers. The MasterGuard Hub system also allows boaters to easily change their boat propeller to a lower pitch. This will make pulling a skier or adding extra people on board easier with a lower pitch boat propeller. Hustler aluminum boat props were also approved by the North American Fisherman field testers.

Upgrade your boat propeller
Turning Point's Hustler High Performance Series aluminum propellers now feature the newly designed MasterGuard Hub System. Created specifically to give boats a higher top-end speed, better handling, a faster hole shot and more efficiency, Hustler propellers maximize overall performance. These boat props incorporate the same high performance designs found in stainless steel props to give boaters a less expensive way to gain stainless steel-like performance.
The High Performance Series is designed for all engines ranging from 40 hp to 300 hp with 4-1/4" to 4-3/4" gearcases. The interchangeable hub allows boaters to save money on future prop purchases, since spare or different pitched propellers don't require another hub purchase.
Turning Point recommends that every boat have a spare propeller onboard to insure a day on the water isn't ruined by a broken prop or to allow for adjustments in different situations. Using a prop 2" in pitch less makes a big difference when more people are onboard or the boat is being used for watersports. The smaller pitch helps offset the added weight and drag on the motor and increases performance under these circumstances.

Express Stainless Steel Boat Propellers
Express High Performance Stainless Boat Propellers
High Performance Series
75 - 300 hp w/ 4-1/4" & 4-3/4" gearcases
Express props are the perfect prop for bass, walleye, family fishing, offshore boats, run-a-bouts, and weekenders. Express gives boats maximum speed and secure handling on tight turns at wide open throttle.
The Express propeller from Turning Point Propellers provides all-around high performance for everyone from pro fishermen to weekend boaters. This stainless steel prop is ideal for just about any engine from 40 to 300+ hp with a 4-1/4" or 4-3/4" gearcase.
Delivering maximum speed and secure handling on tight turns at wide open throttle, the Express propeller is perfect for bass, walleye, family fishing, offshore and runabout boats. The unique blade design, available in 15", 17", 19", 21" or 23" pitches, allows for versatile use and gives boats a quicker hole shot, faster time to plane and greater lift.
At the heart of the Express prop housing is Turning Point's redesigned MasterGuard interchangeable hub system. Smaller and stronger, the hub utilizes a high-tech polymer material that efficiently absorbs damaging shift shock and engine vibrations. The small diameter allows optimal exhaust flow for better fuel efficiency and peak horsepower.
Do you use your boat for waterskiing, tubing, or putting extra people on board for a cruise around the lake or down the river? Purchase a 2 nd propeller at a lower pitch to help compensate for the added weight and drag. You will notice a big improvement in how your boat performs under those conditions. Don't forget you can carry a spare Hustler aluminum propeller that will adapt to the same hub.

Turning Point propeller testimonials
K. Keist
Edmond , OK
“You might be interested to know that my time to plane is definitely shorter with a noticeable decrease in the amount of bow rise. To top it off I’ve seen top speeds I can’t even believe. It was 43.7 mph with and with the Hustler it is now 48.9 mph. This is definitely a High Performance Aluminum propeller, the likes of which I’m surprised someone has not come up with before now.”
G.Kazunas
Dayton , OR
“After ordering and installing Turning Point’s hub and prop on my 1995 outboard motor, I compared it to the original prop. I not only gained 3 mph top end speed, but it was also quicker to get on plane. It is a very good-looking unit and very easy to install. I bought a second prop to use
as a spare. Both the hub and prop cost me about $62.00 less than the original prop.”
K.Crowley
Chicago , IL
“The Express prop I bought completely outperformed my OEM prop. My hole shot improved and the top speed was faster by about 3 mph. I couldn’t believe how well it handled on turns.”
S. Graham
“The 23 pitch Hustler aluminum prop was outstanding in both the hole shot and top end speed. I was amazed that a prop could perform like it did.”
