Michigan Match propellers are great replacement boat props Whether you are an avid mariner, or a leisurely mariner, you need a custom boat propeller and you know only the best will do for your watercraft. Choose a Michigan Match propeller when you want only the very best for your boat. These propellers are made quality material and workmanship. To absorb impact better and decrease stress caused by changing gears, they were created with a naval brass spindle, along with a rubber cushioned hub. Although it is mistakenly believed that the rubber cushion hub was created to prevent blade damage. Powder coating and rubber brushing on these propellers reduce drag and thereby increase their speed in the water, as well as protect the propeller itself. These propellers were designed as an aluminum propeller, but are priced as a spare to save you in a pinch. Four different series or options are offered to meet your specific propeller needs. You will want to steer away from plastic propellers. Propellers are meant to be durable, glide smoothly through the water and be repairable. Plastic does not meet any of these industry standards the way that metals, such as aluminum do. Many mariners ask if it is advisable to repair a damaged propeller. According to Michigan Wheel, it really depends on the material the propeller is made of as to whether it is economical and advisable. Die-Cast propellers do not repair well, and so these types of propellers should be discarded and replaced. Sand-cast aluminum is a much more durable material in which more and more propellers are being made out of these days. However, if you are going to have a propeller repaired, make sure you are working with an authorized propeller repair company. Finally, Michigan Match boat propellers are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. You can feel confident in buying a propeller knowing that your investment is protected should rough waters arise in your future.

They pride themselves in making a custom propeller that you can purchase right from the shelf; no special order or delays. Michigan Match Propellers: Quality at a Great Price One of the great advantages of Michigan Match propellers is their price point. Michigan Match props are of a high quality and perform better than many propellers that come with motors to begin with, but they typically can be purchased for a lower price than comparable propellers from other major manufacturers. This is done without sacrificing the quality that customers have come to expect, which means that there is no reason for boating enthusiasts not to choose Michigan Match propellers when they need an aftermarket solution that will deliver solid propulsion and acceleration. High Quality Spindle One of the best features of propellers from Michigan Match is the spindle. These are fashioned from NAVAL brass and feature a hub cushioned with rubber in order to absorb the stress and impact that comes with any mechanical system. Boaters who have Michigan Match props can shift gears without worrying that this very action is wearing down their spindle to an inordinate degree. In addition, Michigan Match propellers have a rubber bushing that will spin free when subjected to any significant impact. This feature helps the system to avoid greater levels of damage that would be more expensive and time-consuming to repair. In appearance, propellers manufactured by Michigan Match are powder black with a high gloss that makes them aesthetically appealing and helps to cut down on the drag that can result in a loss of speed. The coating also serves to protect the aluminum core of the propeller.
