Michigan Wheel Propellers
Michigan Wheel standard series propellers for pleasure and commercial boats have been the industry standard for 108 years, evolving with the markets to remain relevant. Tried and true 3 blade Dyna-Jet and 4 blade Dyna-Quad pleasure boat propellers are legend, and have been enhanced with the addition of designs for higher speed boats, cnc machine finished DJX and DQX. 5 blade propellers have gained in popularity, and Michigan Wheel Marine’s M-500 offering meets the demand. The Michigan “M” sourced series give the Michigan line a highly competitive offering for the global market.

Work Horse0.71 E.A.R. - Diameter range: 24" - 60" The Work Horse™ is the best known commercial 4 blade propeller in the world for its ability to push hard working boats. It is designed for tug boats, push boats, and applications requiring maximum thrust — where low speeds do not necessitate skewed blades. The semi-elliptical blade shape and constant pitch allows for excellent reverse thrust performance that is necessary in many work boat applications. When it is time to work, the Work Horse delivers. Available in 4 or 5 blade design. |
 |
Machine Pitch (MP & HD)0.51 E.A.R. - Diameter range: 8" - 60" Machine Pitch™ (MP) is the finest and best known
3 blade for all-purpose use. The style and design is
primarily used on vessels with speeds less than 15 knots.
MP style propellers incorporate a semi-elliptical shape,
constant pitch and ogival blade sections. |

Pac-Master0.69 E.A.R. - Even Diameters: 20" - 30" Designed for maximum durability, the Pac-Master stainless steel series ensures long-life running without giving up performance. Modeled from our popular Dyna-Quad pleasure series, this series provides smooth and efficient operation. The increased blade root thickness gives the Pac-Master series the extra durability for all commercial applications. Corrosion resistant CF3 Stainless Steel alloy is used to insure rugged, dependable operation. The Pac-Master keeps the work moving in the toughest conditions. All Pac-Masters are available in select even diameters. Odd diameters and pitch combinations are also available upon requests. |

DJX0.61 E.A.R. - Diameter range: 12" - 21" "DJX" are an evolution of the tried and true Dyna-Jet and Dyna-Quad series propellers. The designs have been modified to be better suited to highly loaded, limited tip clearance applications. All "X" series propellers are CNC machined to facilitate very accurate and repeatable product. The availability of this series will be progressive, with additional sizes being added regularly. Availability will be size specific, in a range of bores, and without or with all degrees of cup. |
 |
DQX0.735 E.A.R. - Diameter range: 17"- 22" DQX are an evolution of the tried and true Dyna-Jet and Dyna-Quad series propellers. The designs have been modified to be better suited to highly loaded, limited tip clearance applications. All "X" series propellers are CNC machined to facilitate very accurate and repeatable product. The availability of this series will be progressive, with additional sizes being added regularly. Availability will be size specific, in a range of bores, and without or with all degrees of cup. |
 |
Dyna-Jet0.56 E.A.R. - Diameter range: 9" - 46" The 3-blade Dyna-Jet is the most popular propeller in the world for moderate size boats, generally through 40', providing outstanding speed and performance. Designed for both the hard working fishing boats to get to their destination on time, to the pleasure craft owner who looks for the ultimate performance and speed. Each Dyna-Jet propeller is carefully hand crafted and inspected to meet today's performance demands. When using NiBrAl material, a cupped trailing edge is available for maximizing thrust and minimizing vibration of a cavitating propeller where blade loading is at the upper end. |
 |
Dyna-Quad0.69 E.A.R. - Diameter range: 19" - 46" The Dyna-Quad design is as popular as the three blade Dyna-Jet, but generally suggested for vessels larger than 40' requiring greater blade area due to the added weight and thrust requirements. The four blade design gives extreme smoothness, superb maneuverability, plus the speed and "dig" of a three blade. This is also an excellent choice for the performance minded commercial boat operators. |
 |
M-5000.86 E.A.R. - Diameter range" 22" - 44" The M-500 is selected by many operators for new boat construction, re-powers and upgrading of propellers. The excellent design and increased blade area provides superior and higher performance without increasing propeller diameter, which may be impossible due to clearance or tip speed consideration. The M-500 is the top choice on installations where heavy vee-struts, dead wood or other hull appendages are agitating the water flow to the propeller. In addition, the M-500 is the choice where vibration caused by resonance is a problem. The blade design reduces vibration caused by the propeller, achieving smoother and quiet cruising. |

Sailboat Propellers Michigan has a wide variety of propeller styles available to get the most out of your sailboat while under power or under sail. Our 2 blade and 3 blade fixed pitch propeller series for sailboats are available in diameters of 10” through 24”, in a wide range of pitch. Custom sizes are also possible. The typical material is Manganese Bronze Michalloy K, although NiBrAl Michalloy XX material is also available. This series of propellers may be machined to fit a full range of metric standards as well as SAE standard taper shafts. |

Sailer 20.36 E.A.R. - Diameter range: 10" - 18" The Sailer 2 fixed pitch propeller is the popular choice for sailboaters seeking to maximize sailing speed. It offers minimum drag while under sail and the power to get you where you're going when the wind stops blowing. |
 |
MP 30.53 E.A.R. - Diameter range: 9" - 40" For the cruiser over 30', the MP 3 propeller has the blade area to get the job done. The thrust provided not only produces cruising performance when the sails are down, but also offers excellent maneuverability while docking. |
