Turning Point Propellers Hustler 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller 14.5x17 LH, Part 21501740

The Turning Point Propellers Hustler is a 4-blade aluminum outboard propeller built for boaters who want stainless-level performance without the stainless price tag. The blades are squeeze cast, a process that adds strength over standard cast aluminum while keeping the propeller light and affordable. This unit is sized 14.5 x 17 (14.5-inch diameter, 17-inch pitch) and is configured for left-hand (LH) rotation, making it the correct choice for counter-rotating engine setups that require an LH prop.

The Hustler design uses higher rake angles to tighten the vortex the blades produce, which increases boat lift and improves overall handling, especially in aggressive turns and rough water. Cupping at the blade edges works with the rake angle to further improve lift and bite, reducing ventilation and slip. Turning Point also tunes a progressive pitch angle across the blade face, which channels water more efficiently to minimize slip while accelerating -- the net result is a noticeable gain in hole shot, mid-range performance, top speed, and fuel economy compared to a flat-pitch design. Part number 21501740 is the manufacturer's public identifier for this specific 14.5 x 17 LH, 4-blade Hustler configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the Turning Point Hustler propeller, part 21501740? It is a 14.5-inch diameter x 17-inch pitch propeller, referred to as a 14.5x17 configuration.

Is this a left-hand or right-hand rotation propeller? Part 21501740 is a left-hand (LH) rotation propeller, intended for engines and drives that require LH rotation rather than the more common right-hand setup.

How many blades does the Hustler 21501740 have? Four blades. The 4-blade design on this Turning Point Hustler is tuned with rake and cupping for added lift and handling compared to a 3-blade prop.

What material is the Turning Point Hustler 21501740 made from? It is made from squeeze-cast aluminum, a casting process that adds strength over standard aluminum casting while keeping the propeller lighter and more affordable than a stainless steel prop.

How much does this propeller weigh? The Turning Point Hustler 21501740 weighs 6.6 pounds.

What are the item dimensions of the 21501740 propeller? The propeller measures 13.25 x 14.25 x 6.75 inches (L x W x H).

Does the Hustler design actually improve boat performance? Yes. The higher rake angle tightens the vortex behind the blades to add lift, the cupped blade edges improve bite and reduce ventilation, and the progressive pitch tuning minimizes slip -- together these improve hole shot, mid-range performance, top speed, and fuel economy versus a basic flat-pitch aluminum prop.

Is the Turning Point Hustler 21501740 a genuine Turning Point Propellers part? Yes, 21501740 is the manufacturer part number assigned by Turning Point Propellers to this specific 14.5x17 LH, 4-blade Hustler aluminum propeller.

What comes in the box with this propeller? The package includes one Turning Point Hustler 21501740 propeller (14.5x17, 4-blade, aluminum, LH rotation).

How is the aluminum Hustler different from a stainless steel propeller? The squeeze-cast aluminum construction of the 21501740 Hustler delivers stainless steel-level performance characteristics -- through its rake, cupping, and progressive pitch tuning -- at a more approachable price point than a stainless propeller, though stainless props are generally more rigid and durable under extreme loads.

What is the pitch on the 21501740 Hustler propeller, and why does it matter? The pitch is 17 inches. Turning Point tunes a progressive pitch angle across the blade on this Hustler prop to channel water efficiently, which reduces slip and improves acceleration and fuel economy.
