Evinrude Boat Propellers Meet a Variety of Needs
Boating enthusiasts who have an Evinrude outboard engine installed on their watercraft will eventually run into the need to arrange for Evinrude boat propellers that will work with their given engine. Evinrude props actually work with a wide variety of engines that are produced by the Evinrude company.
Evinrude in Brief
The Evinrude company got its start in the early years of the 20th century when Ole Evinrude designed and tested an innovative new outboard motor. This motor ended up being water cooled and featured two cycles. Early motors were produced by hand, but it was not long until industrial processes were put to work to make them at a lower cost than before.
By the World War II years, Evinrude was making motors for the U.S. Armed Forces, including lightweight engines that provided emergency power on rubber rescue rafts. Now, Evinrude continues to be a going concern, recently introducing 25- and 30-horsepower motors such as the Evinrude E-TEC, which offers excellent fuel efficiency – in fact, the highest in its engine class. Evinrude E-TEC engines also outstrip their competition in terms of engine weight and power levels delivered. In real world terms, this means that Evinrude boat propellers installed on an E-TEC can deliver the kind of fast acceleration that is needed in many boating activities such as pulling a water skier.
Evinrude engines have other advantages as well, including such practical design features as a tiller handle that folds down for convenient storage, but allows for ease of carrying when needed.
Evinrude Boat Propellers Work with Many Engines
Evinrude propellers provide a quality marine propulsion solution appreciated by boating enthusiasts in not just the United States but also Canada and the United Kingdom as well. There is a wide variety of Evinrude props available to suit a variety of boating applications, and each of these props works with a stunning selection of Evinrude engines, giving boaters who choose Evinrude boat propellers a wide range of options. This allows for a large degree of customization without ever leaving the Evinrude line.
The Apollo 993023 Evinrude Propeller
To take just a single example, the Apollo 993023 Evinrude propeller works with more than a dozen different Evinrude engines. Among these are the 90 horsepower, thru hub exhaust engine and the 90 horsepower V6 Gearcase engine with thru hub exhaust. The Apollo model also coordinates with the 2.6 and 3.6 liter Evinrude engine, as well as 100 horsepower commercial engines featuring a 15-tooth spline.
The Vortex 992006 Evinrude Propeller
Vortex aluminum propellers produced by Evinrude also work on a large number of different engines. The Vortex 992006, for example, works with all the engines specified for the Apollo 993023, but also works with Evinrude’s 115 horsepower engine with a 15-tooth spline and the 120-140 horsepower engine with the same spline. In addition, the Vortex 992006 works with 140 and 150 horsepower motors produced by Evinrude, including the 150 horsepower commercial motor made by the company.
Evinrude propellers provide boating enthusiasts with a large range of alternatives as they consider the best solution to their propulsion needs.
Evinrude Boat Propellers Offer Many Choices
Boat engines both old and new are able to use Evinrude boat propellers in order to attain optimal performance. Evinrude engines use many types of propellers, using primarily the metals of aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum propeller blades are lighter than those made of stainless steel are, but stainless steel has strength advantages over aluminum when the blade dimensions are approximately equivalent.
Apollo Evinrude Props by Michigan Wheel
The Apollo line of Evinrude propellers produced by Michigan Wheel are made of stainless steel. These propellers must be used in conjunction with an XHS Hub Kit produced by Michigan Wheel.
There are more than two dozen different Evinrude propellers in the Apollo line, with each of the propellers working well with many different models of boat engine. A simple example of this is that the Apollo-993023 propeller works with engines from Evinrude — even those that were produced as long ago as 1984, in the case of the 100 HP Commercial engine. It also works with recent engines such as the 90 HP, still in production today.
Sizes in the Apollo line are highly variable, ranging from 10 1/8″ to 15 1/2″, making these props ideal for a majority of boating enthusiasts.
Vortex Evinrude Props by Michigan Wheel
The Vortex line of Evinrude propellers by Michigan Wheel are manufactured from aluminum instead of stainless steel. Like the Apollo line, Vortex props feature either three or four blades in the propeller and are available with either right hand or left hand rotation depending on model.
Other Evinrude Props
Ballistic Evinrude propellers are made of stainless steel, while Michigan Match Evinrude Propellers feature both aluminum and stainless steel models.
