Principals In Play: Propellers or Impellers

Another Kind of Propeller Selection

Here in West Coast Canada, many of us are preparing for the annual salmon run. Ensuring that our water crafts are driven by the right type of propeller is now front of mind. Just like putting the right impeller on a mixer, there are a number of factors to consider when selecting the right propeller to drive your boat.

Terms like torque, flow and lift need to be understood. The size of the engine, the size and type of boat, plus the type of water you intend to navigate are critical factors to  evaluate. There is nothing worse than knowing where the fish are but not being able to get to them.

Which boat would you rather be driving this season?
