Our Comprehensive Propeller Service Offerings

1. Expert Propeller Pulling (Removal)

Removing a propeller, especially from larger vessels or in challenging conditions, requires specialized knowledge and equipment. Our team is equipped to handle propellers of all sizes with precision and care.

• Boatyard Service: For scheduled maintenance or more extensive work, we can efficiently pull your propellers while your vessel is on the hard, ensuring full access and optimal working conditions.
• Underwater Service (Diver Assisted): For emergency repairs, quick inspections, or when hauling out isn't immediately feasible, our expert divers can skillfully remove your propellers underwater. This minimizes downtime and often provides a faster solution for getting your boat operational.

We utilize appropriate tools and techniques to prevent damage to your propeller, shaft, or running gear during the removal process.

2. Professional Propeller Reconditioning & Repair (Off-Site Partnership)

Once your propeller is expertly removed, it's sent to our trusted partner: a state-of-the-art, specialized propeller repair shop. They are industry leaders in propeller reconditioning, ensuring your propeller is restored to optimal "like-new" condition.

Their comprehensive reconditioning process includes:

• Detailed Inspection & Diagnosis: Using advanced scanning and measurement tools to identify even subtle damage, cracks, or imbalances.
• Precision Repair: Expert correction of bent blades, dings, leading-edge damage, and pitch alterations.
• Dynamic Balancing: Crucial for eliminating vibrations, dynamic balancing ensures the propeller spins smoothly, reducing wear on your drivetrain and enhancing comfort.
• Pitch and Diameter Correction: Restoring your propeller to its optimal design specifications for maximum efficiency and performance.
• Reconditioning & Polishing: A meticulous process that restores the propeller's surface finish, reducing drag and improving overall aesthetics.

By partnering with a dedicated propeller shop, we guarantee the highest quality repair and reconditioning available, leveraging specialized equipment and expertise that a general marine service might not possess.

3. Precise Propeller Installation

Once your propeller returns from reconditioning, our skilled technicians or divers will meticulously re-install it, ensuring perfect alignment and secure mounting.

• Boatyard Service: On the hard, we have full access to ensure every detail of the installation is perfect, from keyway alignment to shaft nut torque.
• Underwater Service (Diver Assisted): Our divers are proficient in precise underwater propeller installation, ensuring correct seating, torque, and secure fastening even beneath the waterline.

Proper installation is critical to prevent future issues, vibrations, and to ensure peak performance from your reconditioned propeller.
