PropSmith Advantage

Advantages of the PropSmith are:

  • All work is done from aft of the hub, so is not affected by diameter, blade overlap, number of blades, or by lack of space between strut and propeller
  • The only tool that is both a prop “pusher” as well as a prop puller, with the substantial force that is developed pressing the hub directly in line with the shaft, either onto or off the taper
  • Never a risk of damage from slipping chains or clamps of old-fashioned pullers, or a badly-aimed hammer.
  • The only prop tool that is compact enough for easy onboard stowage; small and simple enough to make underwater changes easy – divers love it!
  • Standard PropSmiths come with right hand SAE threads to mate to standard shaft end threads; metric, left hand or other special threads are available on special order; the required puller holes in the aft side of the hub are now standardized with major prop manufacturers, such as Michigan, HyTorq, Acme, Teignbridge, ZF, Veem, Hung Shen.
  • Used and recommended by many quality boat builders, including Viking, Hatteras, Cabo, Delta, Tiara, Ocean, Albemarle, Post, Rampage, SeaRay, Sculley, Burger, Spencer, Lazzara.
