Troubleshooting & FAQ
What is the difference between Type J propellers and older A/B types?
Type J propellers feature a more advanced blade geometry designed for improved performance, acceleration, and efficiency. They supersede the older Type A and B sets for the specified DP drives, offering a significant upgrade in handling and durability.
Will this set fit an engine more powerful than 230 HP?
No, this propeller set is specifically rated for gasoline engines up to 230 HP. It is not recommended for engines exceeding 240 HP or for boat speeds above 38 knots to ensure safe operation and prevent drive damage.
How do I know when it's time to replace my propellers?
Inspect your propellers regularly for visible damage, such as bent or cracked blades, significant dings, or excessive corrosion. A noticeable loss in performance, increased vibration, or a decrease in fuel efficiency are also strong indicators that a replacement is needed.
Can I replace just the front or rear propeller instead of the whole set?
Duoprop sets are designed, manufactured, and balanced to work together. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to always replace them as a complete set. Mixing old and new components can cause vibration, reduce performance, and lead to premature wear on your sterndrive.
What are the benefits of the 3-blade front and 4-blade rear design?
This patented Duoprop configuration distributes the engine's power across seven blades, providing exceptional grip on the water. This results in superior acceleration, better tracking, lower vibration, and improved fuel economy compared to single-propeller systems.
