Stainless steel propeller performance for the cost of aluminum

Turning Point's Hustler Aluminum Propellers deliver outstanding overall performance that you would find in a stainless steel propeller - but for the low cost of aluminum.

Mid-Range & High Performance Series
40 - 300 hp w/ 4-1/4" & 4-3/4" gearcases

They incorporate designs that boost a boat's overall performance. Not all boat propellers are created equal. In fact, Hustler Aluminum Propellers are the best performing props available. In some cases, this prop will outperform a stainless steel 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 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.

Mid-Range Series
40 - 75hp w/ a 3-1/2" gearcase

New designs, better speeds, better handling, and saves fuel. The best propellers for lower horspower pontoon, fishing and work boats!

Patterned from after stainless steel designs, these props give a new meaning to the word hustle. Hustler aluminum props provide high top end speeds, quick hole shot, great lift, and secure handling even on tight WOT Turns.
The best overall running aluminum boat propeller available!




















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 2nd Hustler boat propeller at a lower pitch to help compensate for the added weight and drag. The second prop will adapt to the same hub! You will notice a big improvement in how your boat performs under those conditions.
