Machine Pitch™ (MP) is the finest and best known 3 blade propeller for all-purpose commercial use. The style and design is primarily used on vessels with top speeds less than 15 knots. MP style propeller blades incorporate a semi-elliptical shape, constant pitch, and ogival blade sections for durability and ease of repair. 

The Heavy Duty (HD) is identical in design to the MP but includes thicker blade edges engineered specifically for severe conditions. Its heavy duty edges resist abrasion and blade fracture.

The Work Horse™ is the best known commercial 4 blade propeller in the world for its ability to push hard working boats. It is designed for tug boats, push boats, and applications requiring maximum thrust — where low speeds do not necessitate skewed blades. The semi-elliptical blade shape and constant pitch allows for excellent reverse thrust performance that is necessary in many work boat applications. When it is time to work, the Work Horse delivers.

The Work Horse 5 propeller is an evolution of our traditional Work Horse propeller. The increased blade number is for commercial applications with higher horsepower and thrust requirements with diameter constraints. Additionally, the Work Horse 5 will help to reduce vibration levels on vessels where non-uniform water flow or propeller tip clearance limitations exist.

More muscle than the traditional Dyna-Quad design through more blade area. The DQ Special is an authoritative extension of the tried and true Dyna-Quad design. This series is available in larger diameters, with area ratios suitable for today's high powered vessels. The DQ Special is an option for large super yachts as well as commercial boats operating at speed.

The Dura-Quad is the choice for applications where more durability is desired and/or more blade area is required. The Dura-Quad series features the skewed and highly efficient blade design of the traditional Dyna-Quad series, with added blade thickness to optimize speed on high powered commercial applications, without sacrificing durability.

Designed for maximum durability, the Pac-Master stainless steel series ensures long-life running without giving up performance. Modeled from our popular Dyna-Quad pleasure series, this series provides smooth and efficient operation. The increased blade root thickness gives the Pac-Master series the extra durability for all commercial applications. Corrosion resistant CF3 Stainless Steel alloy is used to insure rugged, dependable operation. The Pac-Master keeps the work moving in the toughest conditions.
All Pac-Masters are available in select even diameters. Odd diameters and pitch combinations are also available upon requests.

The heavy-duty blade thickness distribution that makes the Maxima the most durable commercial offering. The blade design is wider than the standard for applications that require maximum thrust, including moderate-speed crew supply, high horsepower applications and passenger boats requiring maximum thrust. The Maxima is available in 3 or 4 blade designs.
