MATERIAU: Les Hélices Piranha sont en Verton®, celui-ci possède une résistance de 10-15% supérieure à l'aluminum. Le Vertron est principalement composé de fibre de verre et de nylon. Caractéristiques comparées en traction:

MOYEUX PIRANHA : Notre moyeu est formé d'un insert en aluminum extrudé, surmoulé en Verton®. Notre moyeu est garanti à vie.

HELICES ENDOMMAGEES : Grâce au Verton's® et à sa résistance, nos pales peuvent absorber des chocs très importants. Cette caractéristique permet de garantir la sécirité de l'embase. Quand une pale Piranha est endommagée, le client peut rapidement réparer son hélice pour une somme faible sans commune mesure avec les prix des hélices aluminium..

EQUILIBRAGE : Nous avons un moule pour chaque type de pale et chaque taille d'hélice. Par exemple chaque pale 1419A de rechange viendra du même moule, ce qui rend chaque pale 1419A identique en pas, en profil et en poids.

MODIFICATION DE PAS : Avec une Hélice Piranha, vous pouvez changer le pas pour moitié prix d'une hélice neuve. Des pales de rechange ou des pales d'un pas autre peuvent être facilement stockées sur le bateau. Rappellez-vous que toutes les pales de rechange coûtent bien moins cher qu'une hélice aluminium d'avance.

POLITIQUE D'ECHANGE : Notre politique de vente est simple et agréable : si un client a commandé un jeu de pales mal adapté, celui-ci lui sera échangé pour lui permettre de résoudre son application. Seul le transport sera facturé.

The Versatility and Simplicity of changing blades makes standard die cast aluminum propellers a thing of the past for all recreational boaters. You now repair a damaged propeller quickly and easily with no down time and at much less cost!

We recommend carrying an extra set of blades so that no boating time is wasted while out on the water.

Troubleshooting
Tips on picking the correct propeller

Piranha Hydrofoil/Stabilizer
with Vectored Hydro-Ports from Piranha Propellers

The Piranha Hydrofoil/Stabilizer is a revolutionary new product that blends advanced hydrodynamics with a streamlined design. The Vectored Hydro Ports® (V.H.P.) Allow water to flow through the leading edge of the hydrofoil during initial acceleration.

When the boat is in this "high angle of attack" the water flows through the hydro-ports improving the lifting ability of the hydrofoil. The anti-vortex tips have also been added to the ends of the hydrofoil to increase lift as well as reduce unwanted steering torque during acceleration.

Made of Verton®, the same high strength material used to produce our quality composite-modular propellers, the hydrofoil is incredibly strong and non-corrosive.

This advanced engineering has produced an innovative hydrofoil that:

• Has a faster time to plane
• Improves fuel economy
• Reduces steering torque up to 30%
• Keeps the bow lower during acceleration for better over the bow visibility
• Provides lower planing speeds for the new generation of knee and wake board activities.
• Will fit I/O's and outboards from 20 to 260 HP
• Is simple to install
• Is non-corrosive

Piranha Propellers
Assembly/Installation Instructions

Three Blade Propellers

1. Install blades into hub. Blade retention area is tapered, so the blades will only go into hub one way.
2. Position the front and rear caps so the alignment pins insert into the hub and push into place. Some models have the front cap molded as part of the hub, leaving only the rear cap to attach.
3. Remove your old propeller, propeller nut & hardware, keep the thrust washer on the propeller shaft.
4. With the thrust washer on propeller shaft, slide the Piranha Propeller on shaft. Install the washer and propeller nut, tighten propeller nut to 30-45 ft/lbs. Any additional spacers, washers or special propeller nuts necessary for installation will be included with your propeller as follows:
   
   Force "B-style" & Suzuki "C-style" propellers - TWA washer: May be required between prop and stock thrust washer. Suzuki "B-style" & Suzuki/Yamaha/Honda "C-style" propellers - SSWA washer: Required in place of rear spacer washer. Yamaha "A-style" 3 blade propellers - RSYA washer: Required to replace Yamaha's rear spacer washer.
   Stainless Steel flat washer (1/2" or 7/16"): Used on any "D-style" & "E-style" rear cap, installed before propeller nut. Volvo 275, 280 & 290 Sterndrives - Stainless Steel nut and flat washer (5/8"): Used in place of Volvo propeller nut assembly.

Four Blade Propellers:

1. Install blades into hub. Blade retention area is tapered, so the blades will only go into hub one way.
2. All Four Blade Hubs have an integral front cap molded as part of the hub, leaving only the Rear cap to attach.
3. Remove your old propeller, an thrust washer from shaft. All 4-Blade propellers have a thrust washer built into the hub. |
   **Except Suzuki "B-style" & Volvo 275-290 BV4 "B-style" hub ** Use the stock thrust washer..
4. Slide the Piranha propeller on the prop shaft. Install the washer and propeller nut, tighten the prop nut to 45 ft/lbs. Any additional spacers, washers or special propeller nuts necessary for installation will be included with your propeller.
   
   MERCRUISER & Mercury V-6 "A-style": Must use High Performance Trim Tab, check prop clearance before starting engine.
   
   BO4 (Johnson/Evinrude) Four blade hubs come with a SSWA & a Stainless Steel flat washer to use with rear cap (RC04) BEFORE prop nut.

ATTENTION: To prevent corrosion and possible seizing of your propeller to the propshaft, it is important to apply a quality marine grease to your propeller shaft splines when installing a new propeller. For the best in QUALITY GREASE AND LUBRICANTS try Aqua Lube of Kentucky's Waterproof Grease* a free sample may be included with your propeller.
