Shipping & lead times
Shipping & lead times
We're a small team of boaters and we pack orders within 1–5 business days (no weekend or holiday packing). You'll get an email with tracking as soon as a label goes on your box.
Specialty items — fire extinguishers (dangerous goods) and low-stock or built-to-order gear — can take longer; the product description will say so. On a tight timeline or meeting your boat somewhere specific? Contact us and we’ll work out the fastest way to get gear to you.
International orders ship DDU: local duties, taxes, and customs fees are the buyer’s responsibility. Full details in our shipping policy.

Ask a cruiser before you buy
Ask a cruiser before you buy
Everyone here is a current or past cruiser — we’ve docked short-handed, re-rigged at anchor, and chased 12V gremlins too. Not sure this is the right fit for your boat? Send us your question before you order and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Low drag under sail, matched propulsion under power
Flexofold blades fold behind the hub while sailing and open under rotation for forward and reverse. Helical gearing synchronizes blade movement, and the propeller is water-lubricated rather than dependent on a routine greasing system.
What we need to size the propeller
- Boat: make, model, year, hull type, length, displacement, and whether it is a monohull or multihull.
- Engine: manufacturer, model, rated horsepower or kilowatts, and maximum rated RPM.
- Drive: gearbox or saildrive make and model, reduction ratio, rotation, and shaft or spline details.
- Current setup: existing diameter and pitch, full- throttle RPM under load, plus available hull and aperture clearance.
How the configured order works
- Submit the boat, engine, drive, and current-propeller information.
- We review the application and confirm the recommended blade count, diameter, pitch, rotation, and mounting configuration.
- You receive a configuration-specific quote before committing to the propeller.
Start the propeller sizing form
Do not select a folding propeller by boat length or diameter alone. The reduction ratio, engine RPM, mounting standard, rotation, loading, and clearances all affect the final match.
