Turning Point Hub System
Turning Point hubs feature a Lifetime Warranty. This is the only prop hub warranty in the industry. This hub system is engineered to hold up over time without spinning, cracking or failing during normal use. Turning Point only uses the best materials. Glass filled mylon is molded over brass splines to give you a lifetime of use. The simple hub design eliminates failures commonly seen with multi-part "sleeve and spline" designs, and pressed-in rubber hub systems.
Changing your aluminum or stainless propller is easy with Turning Point's hub system. Each Hub's one piece design ensures simple housing replacement, making a prop change quick and easy.

Just start typing characteristics about your boat's engine. You can type in horsepower, model name, liters, year, etc.
Possible engine matches will be displayed below your search query. Keep typing to further narrow the list. Once you see the engine that most closely matches yours, select it using your mouse or the up/down arrow keys.
Select the pitch & rotation of propellers you wish to see, then click "Find Prop"

Look on the outer hub of the prop near the blades or inside the hub. Most props are stamped with a series of numbers. Pitch is always the last number listed. Example: 3 x 16 x 24.5R 3 - Number of Blades (occasionally displayed) 16 - Diameter 24.5 - Pitch R - Direction of Rotation (R = Right/Standard, L = Left/Counter) |
Pitch is stamped on the outer prop hub...
|
...oraround the inner hub. |
Props spin either clockwise (standard or right-hand rotation) or counter-clockwise (counter or left-hand rotation).
Most single engines use a standard rotation prop. Most twin engines use one of each.
To determine what prop rotation you have, look at your prop as if on a boat. Position a blade pointing straight up. If the right-hand side of the blade is closer to the boat than to you, it's a standard rotation prop.

Props are often stamped with both dimensions and a part number. Look on the outer hub of the prop near the blades or inside the hub. Numbers similar to 15 x 17 are the prop dimensions (diameter & pitch). Those numbers are not your part number! Part numbers resemble 031018, 48-11320A40, 2231-103-12, etc. |
Look around the inner hub or on the blades.
|
15 1/2x17 is not the propeller part number!

Volvo Penta DuoProps have a front and rear propeller that rotate back to back on the same drive. The front propeller is closest to the boat and hits the water first.
DuoProps have both a counter and standard rotation prop to eliminate steering torque. The front prop is always counter rotation. The rear prop is always standard rotation.
Volvo Penta DuoProps are each stamped with a size code (D2, F5, T9, etc) that is used to find a prop replacement. With this code you can replace either the front or rear pieces, or the complete DuoProp.
