A Walter Propeller Puller (often just called a Walter prop puller) is a professional marine propeller removal tool used to safely pull an inboard boat’s propeller off the tapered shaft without damaging the shaft, keyway, hub, bearings, strut, or transmission. It’s a classic heavy-duty design that has been used by boatyards, commercial divers, and marine service professionals for decades.

What a Walter Prop Puller Is

• Mechanical puller tool that applies controlled, even force directly to the prop hub.
• Designed specifically to overcome corrosion-seized, long-installed, or stubborn propellers on inboard shafts.
• Typically made from forged/cast steel for strength and durability.

How It Works

• You back off the prop nut a few turns (leave it on to act as a stop).
• The Walter puller is placed over or behind the prop hub.
• A forcing mechanism (screws/hooks/plate) is tightened evenly, exerting axial pull against the prop nut.
• This pulls the prop straight off the taper without shock.

Why It’s Used

• Efficient and safe method vs. impact tools (like prop knockers).
• Works in underwater conditions — popular with commercial divers.
• Excellent for larger props, 2–5 blades, and boats that see heavy use.

Versions & Sizes

• Walter pullers come in several sizes (e.g., No. 1, No. 2N, No. 3N) with different capacities
• Blade types (2–5 blades) Prop diameters (small to large) Shaft sizes (typically up to 3″ or more)
