Prop prices

[Anthonyexmouth]

Apart from Norris and Teignbridge engineering, can anyone recommend a good UK bronze prop supplier?

Hamble Propellers, Clements Marine Engineering, Lake Engineering, Castle Marine.

What sort/size of props and what do you mean by "bronze" as there are more than one type of Bronze alloys used for propellers.

looking at something like a 15x12 4 blade. Probably aluminium bronze.

I bought an 18×17.5 4 blade bronze 4 years ago and it was £756 , i can't open the pdf invoice to see if that included VAT.

Some time ago this outfit was offering the best prices on replacement propellers especially if you needed an unusual pitch.
Home - Michigan Marine Propulsion International
At the time they were cheaper than any UK based supplier even though the props had to shipped from USA.
Something to do with the $ £ exchange rate at the time .
Shipping time was 6 weeks but by paying a little extra they would ship by air which reduced it to two or three weeks from order.

Norris have given me a 7+ week lead time anyway. I forgot about Michigan. Always associate them with outboard and outdrive props. I'll message them, they are only a few miles from me.

Plus One for Clements Marine - Paul Williams is excellent - No affiliation

I bought a yacht propeller from Norris and it turned up in a Michigan box...

Have used FAL before to make a new prop for a Mitchell 31 - did a great job and tweaked the prop compared to the original resulting in slightly better performance. They're about 4 miles down the road from me!

Have long held a sneaking suspicion that some prop suppliers are getting prop castings from Michigan and doing the final finishing tweaks ?

Castle Marine in Caernarfon excellent small prop speçialists.
