Timbolier Industries now offers custom-manufactured propellers for your vessel to extract the best performance and economy possible. Our factory fabricates thousands of wheels each year for pleasure-craft and also serves several commercial shipping lines. We are offering custom-fabricated brand new NIBRAL wheels machine crafted to your specifications at a price that will make you smile.

Why ZZ Prop Wheels are Better:

All our props meet the ISO484/2 standard for Class 1 tuning. This ensures the geometry precisely matches the optimal curve for hydro-dynamic propulsion. Every wheel is precision balanced and tuned to ensure a smooth ride and optimal fuel efficiency.
Our props are manufactured to order. There is no re-working of an off-the shelf prop. Every wheel is custom cast and machined to your specification.
Our metallurgy is better. We manufacture to the international “CU3” specification for NIBRAL which limits the presence of tin due to its softness and ensures sufficient Manganese to prevent corrosion.
We offer custom sizes to meet the precise needs of your hull. If your computer data says 32.6" x 34.4 -- no problem. No more rounding required. If you require a custom hub length or shaft size we can do that too.
We fight cavitation with computer analysis and then custom design your blade area. If you if .75 D.A.R. is the optimum blade area, there's no need to choose between off-the-shelf designs. We'll make the exact D.A.R. you need!
Every wheel comes with a detailed report showing inspection of every aspect of the wheel's manufacture to ensure all specifications are met.
Custom manufacturing means you not only get the diameter and pitch you need, but we also customize the blade thickness and hub structure for your vessel. Other prop manufacturers take a one-size-fits-all-approach that sacrifices efficiency. Your ZZ-Prop wheels will be optimized for your boat to ensure both strength and performance.
Precision Cupping: A variance of .017" (1/3 the thickness of a dime) in cupping from one blade to the next produces an effective pitch differential of half an inch, resulting in vibration and poor performance. Our cupping is precise to +/- .001", and we have precise geometric definitions for light, medium, and heavy cup.
