Testimonials for The Propeller Works of Clackamas Oregon - marine propeller repair, boat prop repairs

I am absolutely thrilled with the performance increase I received from having my props tuned at The Propeller Works. I had read about the Prop Scan computerized propeller repair system in several national boating publications. It truly is amazing technology.

My 32 foot Trojan cruised at 16 mph at 2900 rpm's prior to having the props redone. I am now running 19 mph at the same rpm. That’s an 18.75% increase in cruise speed! I haven't had enough hours yet to determine my fuel economy but I'm sure it has improved also.

Amazingly, prior to having this work done, I thought that I had no problem with my props. I thought I might need help with them, however, since I couldn't get the speed at cruise that was published in my manual. I now exceed the manual's speed specifications even though the boat is 20 years old.

The staff at The Propeller Works was very informative and walked me completely through the repair process, which was very comforting. I would recommend them to anyone and already have.

After noticing vibration from my port prop, I called The Propeller Works. Their computer analysis showed each one of my props was doing something different. They adjusted them and on my recent annual trip from Astoria to Neah Bay, my speed increased by 2 knots and I had 22 gallons more fuel in my tanks than I did on the same trip last year. My boat has never run so well!

As a builder of high performance racecars, I was amazed at the performance and fuel efficiency of my boat after The Propeller Works tuned my props. It used to plane at 3000 to 3050 RPM. It now planes at 2900 RPM! I am also surprised by how smooth it is. It’s really sweet!

The propeller tuning made significant changes. The boat is fishing well now and I have seen a remarkable improvement with the propeller and significant savings in fuel costs! I sent other fishermen to you and more are interested.

Howdy,

Kyle is extremely surprised and pleased with the propeller. He says he knows for certain that it has dropped the temp 80 degrees, and feels it may have dropped as much as 100 degrees. He says that while he didn't think there was noise or much vibration before, he says it is so quiet and noise free that if he hadn't been moving he would think the wheel had fallen off.
His father, a retired chief engineer of Crowley Maritime, was amazed as well, having spent a couple of trips aboard the Pursuit just this year.
We will update you as to fuel savings , which we expect to have occur.
