Michigan Wheel 101027 Aluminum Propeller, 14-1/2 x 17 Pitch, 3-Blade Cupped, Yamaha V-6 Outboard

The Michigan Wheel 101027 is a 3-blade aluminum boat propeller measuring 14-1/2 inches in diameter with a 17 inch pitch and a cupped blade design. It is built from a finish-grade aluminum alloy that Michigan Wheel selects for strength, making it more durable than many original equipment propellers while remaining fully repairable if damaged. A rubber hub is bonded inside the propeller body, and this hub acts as a shock absorber, protecting the propeller shaft, lower unit gears, and motor from impact damage if the blades strike a submerged object, a dock, or other debris. The cupped blade edge helps hold the stern down at speed, reduces ventilation and slippage in turns, and can improve acceleration and top-end performance compared to a flat-blade propeller of the same pitch.

This propeller is intended for Yamaha V-6 outboard engines and applicable stern drive applications, and is a direct fit replacement where the original propeller has worn out, been damaged, or needs to be upgraded to a cupped design. It is backed by Michigan Wheel's Limited Lifetime Manufacturer's Warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
