14.5X17 Stainless Steel Four Blade Aluminum PROP EXPRESS Mach4 (31501741)

Find the ideal propeller for your boat. Turning Point Express Mach4 Series 14"D x 17"P 4-Blade Stainless Steel Thru Hub Exhaust Propeller (31501741). The Express series is now available in industry-leading TP17 stainless and is ideal for applications requiring increased acceleration, cornering, and load-bearing. This propeller series is suitable for watersports, sterndrive boats, tri-toons, bay boats, and any vessel capable of using the stern lift. It is the most significant improvement available for earlier stainless designs from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s and will outperform the majority of contemporary props, including five blade ski props. Achieve maximum speed with best-in-Class handling and acceleration with these four-blade propellers.

Key Features:

• Newer performance-enhancing designs maximize top-end speed, offer secure handling (due to less airflow), and accelerate quickly.
• Increased pitch progression - enhances hydrodynamic efficiency for best overall performance.
• Finely adjusted cupping - holds water tightly and restricts ventilation.
• High rake - optimizes lift and peak speed.
• The boosting vent hole system helps your boat to achieve higher rpm faster.
• Installation of the 500 series hub kit is necessary.

How Does Turning Point Design Industry Leading Performance Props?
When Turning Point designs a new prop for a given category, they identify the best performing OEM and Aftermarket stainless steel props in the market that fits into that category. A better aluminum & stainless steel version is designed at the same time using the same geometry & drawing. Through testing, Turning Point’s engineers modify the design until it performs better than the best competitive Stainless Steel prop.

Why upgrade to a Tuning Point stainless steel propeller?

- Stainless steel propellers are much more durable compared to aluminum.

- Substantial better performance over competitive aluminum propellers. (Minimal performance difference, around 0.5-1mph speed gain over Turning Point Aluminum Propeller Designs.)

- Expect better performance over competitive OEM and Aftermarket Stainless Steel propellers.

The Prop that put the "four" in Perfourmance! Turning Point's This Dual Geometry propeller is uniquely engineered with two blade geometries: two blades utilize the Hustler high performance variable rake and aggressive pitch design for incredible hole shot and cornering, and two blades utilize an offshore style design for high speed and maximum stern lift. These props re-wrote the rules, proving that you can run a four blade that has unprecedented hole shot, handling, and rough water stability without the top-end speed loss you experience with other manufacturers’ propellers.

Now manufactured in our Industry leading TP17 stainless, the Express Mach4 series is perfect for any application that demands enhanced acceleration, cornering, and load carrying capabilities. This prop series is ideally suited for watersports, sterndrive boats, tri-toons, bay boats, and any vessel that can use stern lift. It is our best upgrade of older stainless designs from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and ’00’s, and will outrun most newer props, including five blade ski props.

Lifts the entire boat higher out of the water:

By lifting the hull higher, boats tend to lose less speed when fully loaded versus a three blade prop. With a lightly loaded boat, a three blade is usually the faster prop for most applications. Alternatively when an application is loaded down with extra people and gear, a three bladed prop can lose up to 3 MPH. This is because the hull is forced deeper into the water causing more wetted surface by the added weight. By lifting the hull higher the Turning Point 4 blade when fully loaded does not lose the top end speed compared to a three blade propeller.

Proprietary Stainless Steel, TP17™:

Formulated to meet the exacting requirements of the New Express Mach3 and Mach4 designs. 20% higher chromium content than the competition - more shine, better corrosion resistance. Almost 250% Stronger and 5X more durable than run-of-the-mill stainless steel. This new material allows Turning Point's Engineers and Designers the freedom to produce radical new designs that will help you wring the most performance out of your boat.

Large Free Flowing Exhaust Ports:

Turning Point's Propeller Housings have massive Exhaust flow pathways. Their Propellers have 40% more exhaust flow Area versus competive product. More exhaust flow and less backpressure can generate more horsepower. Like headers for your boat.
