Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary advantage of the Turning Point Hustler propeller over competitors?
The primary advantage is its ability to deliver stainless steel-level performance, including enhanced speed, handling, and hole shot, at an aluminum propeller price point, achieved through proprietary Squeeze Casting and advanced blade design.
What type of boat is the Turning Point Hustler LE-1515 best suited for?
This propeller is best suited for a wide range of boat types including pontoons, tri-toons, runabouts, and bass boats, where maximizing top-end speed and improving overall performance of the boat and engine combination is desired.
Does this propeller require a hub kit?
Yes, this propeller requires a separate hub kit for installation. Please consult the Turning Point Propellers website or our customer service for the correct hub kit selection for your specific engine.
What is Squeeze Casting technology and why is it important for this propeller?
Squeeze Casting is a manufacturing process that involves forcing molten aluminum into a die under high pressure, resulting in a denser, stronger, and stiffer propeller compared to traditional die-casting methods. This enhanced stiffness translates to improved blade responsiveness and power transfer.
How does the Ultracoat™ finish compare to other propeller coatings?
The Ultracoat™ finish is a proprietary 5-step powder coating process that provides superior durability and enhanced corrosion protection compared to standard paint or coatings typically found on competitor aluminum propellers.
