When you think of Michigan Wheel Marine, think of propellers.  They offer propellers and many other products related to propellers.

Products

Michigan Wheels products include propellers for recreational and commercial use.  They have propellers for inboard drives and outboard drives.  They include the following brand names.

Michigan Propellers

Michigan Wheel standard series propellers for pleasure and commercial boats have been the industry standard for 108 years, evolving with the markets to remain relevant. Tried and true 3 blade Dyna-Jet and 4 blade Dyna-Quad pleasure boat propellers are legend and have been enhanced with the addition of the CNC machine finished DJXand DQX for higher speed boats. 5 blade propellers have gained popularity, and Michigan Wheel Marine’s M-500 meets that demand. The Michigan “M” Series is globally sourced to give the Michigan line a highly competitive offering for the global market.

Federal Propellers

The Federal propeller line concentrates on the application specific custom design and manufacturing efforts. Federal features propellers ranging 12” to 96” in diameters. Michigan Wheel Marine (MWM) is a propeller supplier to custom yacht manufacturers, production boat builders, and commercial shipyards around the world. For those that seek to optimize performance and efficiency, MWM is challenged with expanding propeller design and analysis capabilities. Optimized propeller fit does result in increased speeds, improved cruising range and exceptional passenger comfort levels.

. . .

The FEDERAL propeller line is often the solution to maximize performance. Michigan Wheel Marine engineers work directly with builder engineers and consulting companies, applying ever evolving, sophisticated propeller design codes to applications.

Commercial Propellers

The commercial offering has been expanded to series such as DQ Special, offering durability, smooth and quiet operation for craft operating at speed. The traditional Machine Pitch, Workhorse, and Kaplan designs are widely used throughout the market. Manufacturing flexibility enables Michigan Wheel Marine to offer variants most suited to particular applications. Expanded areas, 5 blades, particular rake requirements can be accommodated. The PacMaster Stainless steel series has become a standard on fishing boats in particular areas, and Michigan Wheel Marine can offer Stainless steel options throughout is line-up.

HyTorq Propellers

Michigan’s acquisition of Hall & Stavert of PEI, Canada, in 1996 brought on additional resource to supply the growing pleasure boat market of the late 1990’s and into 2009. The HyTorq line established a reputation of high quality, and has a strong following for replacement on applications where they were original equipment. With the market contraction, Michigan Wheel Marine consolidated operations in Grand Rapids. All current Hy-Torq propeller patterns and the majority of equipment was brought in to Grand Rapids. Michigan Wheel Marine continues and will continue for the foreseeable future to offer the Hy-Torq line, with every effort made to perpetuate the fine craftsmanship established by Hall & Stavert.

Hale MRI

Michigan Wheel also includes Hale MRI, which is instrumentation for propeller inspection.

Experienced propeller shops prefer the Hale MRI. With the Hale MRI reporting, the propeller shop can get absolute recognition of propeller condition. The Hale MRI features linear transducers that transmit extremely precise 3-D data to the computer, including measurements of: pitch; rake; track; spacing; geometry; and camber of ANY propeller.

Why select an MRI Repair facility?

• Propeller repair professionals, with years of developed repair skills, staff MRI shops.
• The MRI is an instrument that gives the shop precise, accurate information to enhance their repair capability.
• Repair with an MRI creates a detailed report of propeller condition. Both the shop and boat owner will have a clear future reference for that propeller. Once desired performance is obtained, future propeller repair or manufacture can match an individual MRI file.
• On full custom propellers, the precision MRI system is necessary to fully integrate sophisticated design and permit repair. The MRI system can recognize and apply original design data supplied by the propeller manufacturer.
• On both custom and standard series propellers, the MRI provides information from which the propeller shop and customer can address performance issues. Properly restored propellers can: synchronize propeller loading; improve speed and fuel economy; minimize vibration and noise.

Michigan Wheel Marine distributes the Hale MRI. Michigan Wheel Marine and Hale Propeller supply technical support. Units are supplied complete with stand, table, arbors, measurement arm, computer and computer monitor. On site set-up and training is typically available.
