Piranha Blade Exchange Program

What is it?

No matter how much experience you have, no matter how sophisticated your computer modelling program is, there is only on way to know if any given propeller is correct for your boat: try it! Piranha fully accepts this and offers you their blade exchange program to ensure that you get the best prop available (featuring removable blades), in the best size possible for the way YOU actually use your boat. This approach fits especially well with the concept behind the Piranha Prop: just change the blades, not the whole prop. Try the blades that are most likely to work best, if they don't, pop them out and exchange them for a different size. Even if you find a metal propeller maker willing to exchange a prop, 2 lbs of Piranha Blades in a small box will save you more on shipping that a 10 Lb. one-piece metal prop.

Details

If your new Piranha propeller falls a bit short performance wise, you should first run it through our prop selector and let it try to diagnose the problem. First find your motor using the prop selector. Next, select the blade size suggestion link on that page. Enter your performance informatuion into the form and be sure to indicate in it that you are using a PIRANHA PROPELLER. In most cases It will know just what alternative size to consider using. You may also feel better asking us personally for a recommendation by emailing us. If there is a suitable alternative blade size available, we enthusiastically encourage you to use the blade exchange program.

Once you find your motor, click the red propeller size button to have the website suggest a prop size.

When entering your performance info in the prop analysis form, be sure to indicate your current prop is a piranha.

Exchange blades must be in re-sellable condition. Please keep this in mind when you get your new prop. Test your new prop in familiar waters where there is low risk of the prop contacting foreign objects. Hitting or scraping something with the prop probably won't make it unuseable, but it also won't leave it looking as it did when new and thus not-returnable. Finally, if you wish to paint or coat your prop with red laquer or anti-fouling paint, please do so AFTER deciding to keep the prop. Piranha will decline your exchange request if you return a red prop to them. Exchanges will be charged additional shipping costs (Usually $8 - $10 depending on item and location).
