"We were anxious about our 65ft 22 ton monster ever being tamed but you have done it. You have given us a new boat! The boat handled beautifully on the upper Thames with and against the current, with lots of power and good handling through very tight curves, and stopped in half a length.

Even on the shallow Oxford canal it is a dream. We can now negotiate those tight turns as never before, stop almost immediately and go backwards as needed. No more over-revving the Gardner to remain off the gates in the lock, and handling confidence is restored. 

All your promises seem fulfilled and although we have just a few days of experience, we are really delighted."

Axiom Water Propellers Limited is an independent, family owned company based in Northamptonshire which has been manufacturing propellers for narrow boats, barges and yachts across the world since 2008.

Axiom Propeller's aim is to improve boat handling, safety and enjoyment through the use of a technologically advanced, reliable propeller.

The patented symmetrical blade design of the propeller is the product of more than 20 years research and development in marine propulsion resulting in a technologically advanced, reliable propeller, proven to produce significant fuel savings. The Axiom Propeller is manufactured using the highest quality materials to suit individual requirements and is available for all displacement vessels and propulsion systems.

The Axiom Propeller offers a narrowboat a number of key improvements in the way the boat travels through the water, stops and reverses. The Axiom Propeller is able to stop a narrowboat within its own length, without the unpredictable "prop walk" that can cause problems in shallow water.

The propeller's symmetrical blade design provides dramatically improved stopping distances and also gives the narrowboat controllable reversing. With an Axiom Propeller fitted, the handling of the narrowboat will become precise, smooth and responsive with a minimum of wash and wake.
