Commercial Users - you asked for aluminium Counter Rotation propellers for twin 115-140hp on heavy boats working close to shore.... (normally only available in stainless).

Well, PolaStorm have just announced the launch of their TorqueMaster 4-blade aluminium propellers in both normal (RH) rotation and counter (LH) rotation. These props have high rake for grip and bow lift and are available with 14" diameter and pitches from 13" to 23". Perfect for Yamaha, Suzuki, Mercury and Honda outboards,, and twin engine applications such as rescue craft, trip boats and fishing boats.

To the best of our knowledge, no other brand of propellers is offering aluminium counter rotation, let alone 4-blades!

Go to our website and type "4387" into the search bar. You can Pre-Order now and secure your propellers before our first shipment lands.

We look forward to hearing how this craft with the fabulous crews, and supporting staff make a real impact with saving lives. UK Independent Lifeboats, News and Events
