Common Concerns Answered
The upfront cost of a high-performance stainless steel propeller can be a barrier compared to cheaper aluminum options.
While the initial investment in the Turning Point Express Mach3 is higher than aluminum propellers, the proprietary TP17™ stainless steel construction offers significantly greater durability, resistance to corrosion, and improved performance that translates to long-term value and an enhanced boating experience.
Requires a separate hub kit for installation, which adds to the overall cost.
A separate hub kit is required for installation to ensure a precise fit and optimal power transfer for your specific engine. This ensures compatibility and longevity, and is a standard practice for maximizing propeller performance.
Some users may find the initial cost higher than aluminum propellers.
The higher initial cost of this stainless steel propeller is justified by its advanced design, superior strength, and superior performance characteristics. The long-term benefits in speed, acceleration, handling, and durability typically outweigh the initial price difference for performance-minded boaters.
