Hytorq

Brand / Manufacturer:

A HyTorq propeller is a high-quality inboard boat propeller series originally developed and supplied under the Michigan Wheel brand (a long-established marine prop maker). These props are designed as replacement or upgrade propellers for a wide range of inboard applications from recreational cruising boats to workboats with an emphasis on dependable performance and broad size availability.

Key Features:

• Blade Configurations & Performance
• 3-blade (MY-T3) balanced for standard thrust and efficiency.
• 4-blade (MY-T4) extra blade area for smoother operation and improved low-end thrust.
• 5-blade (MY-T5) even more blade area without increasing diameter, useful where clearance is limited or water flow is disturbed (e.g., near struts or appendages).

Materials & Build:

• Typically made in bronze or NiBral (nickel-bronze-aluminum alloy) both strong and corrosion-resistant materials suited for marine environments.
• Versatile Sizing Available in a wide range of diameters (from smaller props up to large-diameter units), making them suitable for many hull sizes, power ranges, and use cases.

Why They’re Popular

• Reliable Replacement Option: Many boat owners choose HyTorq props when replacing an existing prop because they’re established and broadly stocked.
• Smooth Performance: Designs like the 4-blade MY-T4 are known for smooth thrust and reduced vibration.
• Good Balance of Strength and Cost: Offered in quality marine alloys without the premium price of fully custom props, they provide a solid option between budget cast props and custom CNC-machined designs.

Typical Uses:

• Replacement for worn or damaged inboard props Repowering projects — when you change engines or gear ratios Performance upgrades — especially if you want better thrust or smoother running.
