| Tensile Strength Comparison | |
|---|---|
| Verton® | 42,000 psi |
| Die-cast Aluminum | 36,000 psi |
| Other Composites | 26,000 psi |
MATERIAL:
Piranha Propellers are made of Verton®, which has a tensile strength 10-15% greater than aluminum. Vertron is comprised primarily of long-fiber glass and nylon.
Our hubs have a core of high strength extruded aluminum, over-molded with Verton®. We have a lifetime warranty on the hub. A cut-away hub that clearly shows the aluminum core shows the stout construction of a composite propeller hub. A Piranha Propeller hub doesn't have a rubber bushing because the easily replaceable blades are designed to absorb the impact, not the propeller hub. Because the hub is a solid piece you will no longer experience "spun" propeller hubs either, as there is no rubber bushing to age and fail.
DAMAGED PROPS:
Because of Verton's® high tensile strength, our blades are designed to absorb impact energy generated by a strong propeller strike. This feature protects the lower unit from internal damage. If a Piranha blade is damaged, the boater can quickly and easily replace it themselves for around $20.00.
BALANCED PROPS:
We have one mold for each of our different blade styles. For example, every 1419A blade will come from the same mold, making every 1419A blade identical in size, shape and weight.
REPITCH:
With a Piranha Propeller, you can repitch a prop for half the cost of a new propeller. Spare blades to repitch or repair the prop can be stored easily on the boat. Remember, even three spare blades cost much less than a new spare aluminum propeller does.
EXCHANGE POLICY:
We have a liberal exchange policy. If a boater needs a pitch other than the pitch purchased, we will exchange a set of blades to make sure the boater is propped correctly. A small Shipping & Handling charge applies.
RISK FREE - MONEY BACK GUARANTEE:
All of our propellers carry a 30 day money back guarantee for the customer purchasing the propeller. It's easy to be suspicious of something you don't understand. Let our guarantee help make your choice to try us easier.
Durability
Composite propeller design, as with all outboard propeller design, is a blending of performance and durability. Piranha Propellers has utilized the latest in computer technology to match or exceed the reliability and performance of aluminum and stainless steel boat propellers. Piranha Propellers' aerospace grade composite material has a tensile strength that is 15% stronger than die cast aluminum propellers. The impact absorbtion properties of aerospace composites provide protection to your lower unit.
Piranha Propellers' center hub uses a high grade 6061 T6 extruded aluminum core which is encapsulated in the same composite material as our boat propeller blades. This hub is so durable that we have given it a lifetime warranty. If you damage it in any way, we will replace it, free.
