Frequently Asked

Common questions, straight answers

Typical lead time for a computer-designed and cast bronze propeller is 3–5 weeks from order. Repair turnarounds are usually under a week.
No — we work with everyone from private boat owners to fishing fleets and workboat operators. The same engineering standards apply either way.
We regularly repair propellers from 12″ up to over 60″ in diameter. Larger assemblies by arrangement.
We don’t operate a slipway, but we partner with marinas and shipwrights across Southeast Queensland to coordinate fitment.
Yes. We regularly freight propellers and stern-gear parts Australia-wide and have exported to New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands.
