Michigan Wheel Boat Propellers & Prop Hub Kits

Michigan Wheel makes aluminum and stainless steel boat propellers for outboard and sterndrive engines. The range here covers the Apollo and Ballistic stainless steel lines, the Vortex and Michigan Match aluminum lines, and propeller hub kits. Each listing carries the Michigan Wheel part number and the size in its name, so the quickest way to shop is by the part number of your current prop, or by its diameter and pitch.

Apollo and Ballistic stainless steel propellers

Apollo props come in 3-blade and 4-blade versions and in right-hand and left-hand rotation, for example the Apollo 14 1/4 x 17 and the Apollo 4-blade right-hand 14 5/8 x 16. Ballistic is the 3-blade performance line, such as Ballistic part 933523.

Vortex and Michigan Match aluminum propellers

Vortex aluminum props are listed in 3-blade and 4-blade versions, such as the Vortex 4-blade 10 3/8 x 13. Michigan Match props are 3-blade aluminum, for example Michigan Match part 31024, and some are marked cupped, like part 101025.

Propeller hub kits

A hub kit joins the propeller to the prop shaft and is specific to the engine or drive. Kits are listed by kit number with the application in the name, such as the 202 hub kit for Alpha I and Bravo I, the 228 hub kit for Evinrude E-TEC G2 and the 209 XHS II hub kit.

What do the numbers in a propeller size mean?

Diameter comes first, then pitch, both in inches. Diameter is the width of the circle the blades sweep. Pitch is how far the prop would travel forward in one turn with no slip.

Should I choose aluminum or stainless steel?

Aluminum is the usual choice for general boating. Stainless steel blades are stiffer and stand up better to wear. Both are listed here.

Do I need a hub kit with my propeller?

Propellers in Michigan Wheel's XHS system mount with a separate hub kit chosen for the engine. Check each listing for what is included, and confirm the kit number against Michigan Wheel's application chart before ordering.
