A practical guide to the interconnected mechanics of boat propellers

Propeller choice is presented here as a chain of connected decisions, where changing one factor can affect the rest of a boat’s setup. Dave Gerr organizes the subject as a practical reference for small boats, concentrating on how to select, install, and understand propellers without assuming specialist research-level expertise. The book addresses the technical overlap between propulsion choices and the needs of different boat owners and operators, framing propeller selection as a problem that can be approached through mechanics and informed comparison rather than guesswork.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Boat owners working through a propeller selection or installation
  • Mechanics, boatbuilders, and fleet operators needing a practical reference
  • Yachtsmen and naval architects seeking an accessible overview of small-boat propellers

Book overview

On the surface, choosing the correct propeller for a particular boat seems simple. But one factor affects another, which then affects another factor, leading many boaters to believe that propeller selection depends more on black magic than logic.

All the questions are answered in this complete reference, the first of its kind. This clear, easy-to-use handbook for all small boats is written not for Ph.D.s seeking the latest wrinkle in high-tech propeller design, but as a practical aid for the average mechanic, engineer, boatbuilder, fleet operator, serious yachtsman, or naval architect.
