Marine Propeller Repair, Removal & Installation
Hull2Prop provides comprehensive marine propeller services for recreational boats, yachts, commercial vessels, and other watercraft.
Our services include propeller repair, underwater propeller removal and installation, above-water propeller removal and installation, propeller coatings, replacement propellers, and propeller sales.
Whether a propeller needs to be removed for repair, replaced with a new propeller, coated to help control marine growth, or installed while the vessel remains in the water, Hull2Prop can coordinate the appropriate service.
Marine Propeller Repair
Hull2Prop can repair marine propellers for a wide range of vessels and applications.
Propellers can be brought to our facility for repair, or Hull2Prop can remove the propeller from the vessel and coordinate the repair.
Depending on the propeller and condition, repairs may address damage caused by impact, bending, corrosion, wear, or other operating conditions.
Propeller repair requirements vary by propeller type and condition. We can inspect the propeller and determine the appropriate repair or recommend replacement when repair is not practical.
Propeller repair services are available for propellers removed from vessels as well as propellers that require removal from the vessel before repair.
Underwater Propeller Removal & Installation
One of Hull2Prop’s primary propeller services is underwater propeller removal and installation.
Our skilled commercial divers can remove propellers from vessels while they remain in the water, eliminating the need for a haul-out when the vessel and propeller configuration allow the work to be safely completed underwater.
After repair, coating, inspection, or replacement, our divers can reinstall the propeller underwater.
This service can be particularly useful for vessel owners who need propeller work completed without moving the vessel to a haul-out facility. In general, we can perform propeller repairs in the water while a vessel remains on the dock much cheaper and faster than having the vessel hauled out for the same repairs at a yard.
Underwater propeller removal and installation may be available for a wide range of vessel types and propeller configurations.
Above-Water Propeller Removal & Installation
Hull2Prop also provides propeller removal and installation when a vessel is out of the water.
We can perform propeller removal and installation for vessels on trailers, lifts, blocks, stands, or other accessible locations.
If your vessel is already hauled out or otherwise accessible from above the water, Hull2Prop can coordinate the propeller removal, repair, replacement, coating, or reinstallation as required.
Customers can also bring removed propellers directly to Hull2Prop for repair, coating, inspection, or replacement services.
Propeller Coatings
Hull2Prop applies marine propeller coatings designed to help protect propellers and reduce marine fouling.
Propeller coatings can help reduce the accumulation of marine growth on propeller surfaces and may help maintain propeller performance between cleanings.
Hull2Prop can apply a variety of propeller coating systems depending on the propeller, vessel, operating environment, and customer’s requirements.
Common propeller coating options include PropSpeed and compatible bottom paint systems.
Propeller coating work is performed in-house and can be coordinated with propeller removal, repair, or replacement.
PropSpeed
Hull2Prop can apply PropSpeed propeller coating systems to properly prepared propellers.
Bottom Paint
Where appropriate for the application, Hull2Prop can also apply compatible bottom paint systems to propellers and related underwater running gear.
The appropriate coating depends on the propeller material, application, vessel, and customer’s requirements.
Propeller Sales & Replacement
Hull2Prop can source and supply replacement marine propellers for a wide range of vessels and applications.
If a propeller is damaged beyond practical repair, requires replacement, or a vessel owner simply wants to replace an existing propeller, we can help identify and source the appropriate replacement.
We can acquire and sell propellers from a wide range of manufacturers and can work with customers to determine the appropriate propeller based on the vessel, engine, transmission, shaft, existing propeller specifications, and intended application.
Common propeller manufacturers and brands we can source may include:
- VEEM
- Michigan Wheel
- ACME Marine
- Volvo Penta
- ZF Marine
- Teignbridge
- SOLAS
- Mercury Marine
Other manufacturers may also be available depending on the vessel and application.
Sailboat, Folding & Feathering Propellers
Hull2Prop also provides service and sales support for sailboat propellers and other specialized propeller systems.
In addition to standard fixed-blade propellers, we can work with folding and feathering propellers commonly found on sailboats and other vessels.
Our services can include removal, inspection, repair, maintenance, coating, replacement, and installation depending on the propeller and application.
Common sailboat propeller manufacturers include:
- Gori
- Max-Prop
- Volvo
- FlexOfold
- Yanmar
- Saildrive Propellers
We can also source other sailboat propeller brands and models based on the vessel and existing propeller configuration.
If you are unsure which propeller your vessel requires, contact Hull2Prop with your vessel information and existing propeller specifications and our team can help determine the appropriate replacement or service requirements.
Propeller Inspection & Running Gear
Propeller service often involves more than the propeller itself.
When performing propeller work, Hull2Prop can inspect accessible components of the vessel’s underwater running gear and identify conditions that may require additional attention.
Depending on the vessel, our divers may inspect components such as:
- Propeller
- Propeller shaft
- Shaft coupling
- Rudder
- Cutlass bearing
- Shaft anodes
- Line cutters
- Struts and related running gear
- Pod drive
If a condition is identified that requires additional repair or service, we can communicate the issue and discuss the appropriate next step with the vessel owner.
Complete Propeller Service
Hull2Prop can coordinate the complete propeller service process from removal through reinstallation.
Depending on the project, this may include:
- Propeller inspection
- Underwater or above-water removal
- Propeller repair or replacement
- Propeller coating
- Inspection of related running gear
- Underwater or above-water installation
This allows vessel owners to work with one service provider rather than coordinating separate companies for propeller removal, repair, coating, and installation.
Propeller Service for Boats, Yachts & Commercial Vessels
Hull2Prop provides propeller services for recreational boats, yachts, commercial vessels, and other watercraft.
Our capabilities range from routine propeller removal and installation to specialized repair, replacement, coating, and underwater running gear work.
Because propeller requirements vary significantly by vessel and application, each project is evaluated individually.
Propeller Service Throughout Florida
Hull2Prop provides propeller services throughout our Florida service areas, including Southwest Florida, Sarasota and Bradenton, Tampa Bay, and surrounding coastal markets.
Underwater propeller removal and installation may be available at the vessel’s location when the vessel and propeller configuration allow the work to be safely completed in-water.

How are Propeller Repairs Handled?
Having the unique equipment required to remove, reinstall, and handle propellers is very important to ensuring a job is executed properly.
Crews at Hull2Prop are trained on equipment that enables a set of propellers to be removed while a vessel remains in the water. This saves cost on haul outs, and can drastically lessen the time a vessel is out of commission.
We are able to service all sizes and types of propellers. This includes, but is not limited to: Ski boat propellers, sailboat folding propellers, pod drive propellers, surface drive propellers, outboard propellers, and conventional shaft mounted propellers up to 70″ in diameter.
While propellers are in for service, we offer the application of propeller coatings to minimize the marine growth that can attach. These coating options are always better than leaving propellers bare metal, and optimize overall vessel performance along with engine RPMs. Coating options we offer include Propspeed, Seajet, and conventional anti-fouling paints.
