Thru-Hub Exhaust

Thru-hub exhaust propellers consist of a round barrel to which the blades are attached. The exhaust passes through the barrel and out the back, without making contact with the propeller blades. This provides a good, clean water flow to the blades, usually resulting in good acceleration and hole shot.
