<< Back to Axiom Propeller

I would like to tell you that right from the off in moving my boat back to the marina everything has improved for the best. Let me tell you what you already know. Smoother, better stopping, better handling all round, but the thing that is really noticeable is lower engine revs required in obtaining forward travelling speed compared to the original propeller that was fitted to my boat. I have had a few people approach me that had seen the propeller being fitted, they said they know of your product but did say that I must have more money than sense. I will now have to find them so they can try it out on a boat that now has an Axiom propeller fitted to it. Once again guys, many thanks for your superb product - and if anyone does ask, it I can tell them that it really does as it says on the tin. Yours faithfully, a happy narrowboat owner.

Astern. I am still overwhelmed by the response. Going towards a lifting bridge I went astern at three knots all the way back with the helm answering both to port and starboard. Something the P3 prop would not allow me to do with only to port with a right hand prop.

These old (she is 80 on 29th March) ex-fishing boats with long straight keels were ever buggers to steer.

Fine sailing ahead but in today's crowded harbours and marinas handling is most important unless you have a bottomless pit of money.

I would like to express my sheet gratitude in that the propeller you make has made me one very happy bunny.
