Cleaver XB Replacement Blade 13 X 17 | Piranha Propellers 1317XB

Cleaver XB Replacement Blade 13 x 17 1317XB

Different from most Piranha Blades because it features a semi-cleaver blade shape. This gives it the straight looking, uncupped trailing edge you see. The thickness of the blade is also thinner than Piranha’s cupped blade designs. This allows these blades to achieve higher RPM and often a higher top speed.

These blades will not work correctly on some brands of outboard motors. Common applications that do not work correctly with these blades are Mercury, Johnson, and Evinrude. If you are not sure if a semi-cleaver blade is appropriate for your use, please contact us for a recommendation.

Additional Information

Youve probably already heard it all before from your veteran boating buddies, the folks at the marina, and every magazine writer in the business, that You should always carry a spare boat propeller. Thats not bad advice at all. But if you use a Piranha prop, weve got BETTER advice:

Always carry Spare Blades.

Piranha Propellers are known for their high-strengthcomposite material and their modular construction. The unique hub design allows for fast, easy on-the-go propeller repair, saving boaters time and money.

Piranhas boat propeller offers the fastest repair time around, but its important to have the parts to do the repair with. Whether you use 3 blade boat propellers or 4 blade boat propellers, since you cant break more blades than are on the prop, we encourage you to simply carry a full spare set.

Besides, wont you feel better knowing you can fix it if you do, without ruining the rest of your day?

• A complete Piranha Propeller is made up of the Hub, either 3 or 4 Blades, and the Cap.

Piranha blades are designed to absorb the shock of a propeller strike, protecting the lower unit, gears and prop shaft from damage. Each blade is manufactured from a specially formulated high-strength aerospace composite material. The center hub is manufactured with an aluminum core over-molded with the same high-strength composite used for the blades. Every Piranha blade comes with HydroBites precision ridges that improve hole shot, reduce vibration and control ventilation associated with tight turns. The rear cap completes the propeller and secures the blades in the hub.
