Experience, Expertise, Edification: Why boaters who know performance choose BBLADES for their SSM VI Drive propeller needs
High–performance boating requires specialized equipment, like drives and propellers—for example—,*and specialized equipment requires a specialized, experienced hand for service or customization. Boaters who know performance know they need not go anywhere but BBLADES Professional Propellers for their prop and drive customization needs.
With nearly 90 years of combined experience, the heart of which was served in the prop shop at Mercury Racing, the BBLADES team offers more for your hard–earned money, including knowledge and service you just can’t get anywhere else.
If you run cleaver–style VI Drive wheels (or III, IV, V, Arneson and IMCO SCX–4 Drives for that matter), your first call should be to BBLADES—you won’t need to call anywhere else. BBLADES works with each customer in great detail—at no charge—to assure the proper formula for a new lab–finish job, modifying for specialty applications or restoring a prop to factory specs.
BBLADES expertise, experience, and proprietary templates allow for increased or decreased pitch, cupping, blade area adjustments, progression and blade thickness changes. No one can match what BBLADES brings to the table, but more importantly, no one can match what they bring to the water.
Take advantage of BBLADES Winter Special (see above) through February 28 and save big on custom propeller work and Lab Finishing.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Aids Prop Diagnostics
BBLADES Professional Propellers uses a variety of techniques for delivering propeller performance that are based on the customer’s specific needs. Among the many measuring devices—both manual and digital—that separate*BBLADES from most other shops is the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
You may recognize it as MRI; it’s the same technology used at your medical facility, but on a much smaller, less expensive scale.
The machine operates by examining the precise location of a vast number of data points in three dimensions. These measurements are in pitch, rake, diameter, cord length, pitch progression and blade area. By having this data stored and usable at all times, we are able to create graphs and charts of various locations and measurements of a propeller. The graphs are available for purchase by the customer, if they so desire.
Sneak Peek at New Bravo/Bravo SportMaster Spacer Plate
If you can wait until the early spring, BBLADES can offer you the only spacer plates for Bravo or Bravo SportMaster Drives available in quarter–inch increments.
The tooling is in place and production is ready to get underway—very soon—if you need to lower your X–dimension,*BBLADES Incremental Bravo & Bravo Sport Master Spacer Plates will offer you the most precise options, available from ¼” to 2” in quarter–inch steps and 2”–3” in ½” steps. No one else is offering this type of set up flexibility, and—of course—no one else offers the free consulting provided by BBLADES or the Bravo and Bravo SportMaster Spacer Plate Test Program.
BBLADES Professional Propellers is a full–service propeller company offering consultation, inspection and repair of any aluminum or stainless steel propellers; “Lab–Finishing” or “Blueprinting” of stainless steel propellers; competitive pricing on new props from Mercury, Hering, Hydromotive and Turbo; and the most comprehensive propeller testing program in the marine industry.
