Editorial Reviews:

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.

1 out of 5 stars to difficult

this book was not made for the typical boater working on his/her own boat.
Very difficult to understand. Needed new prop for boat and this book did not help in my selection at all.

5 out of 5 stars The Propeller Handbook

This is a very practical book in terms of its simple way of guiding the reader through both, the conceptual understanding of propellers and the corresponding calculations.
This book fulfilled all my expectations

5 out of 5 stars A must read book

It is for the technically minded. Don't buy a propeller without reading it first. And after you've read it, you will probably buy a new propeller, because you will likely to find out that the old one is not right.

4 out of 5 stars Very technical and interesting

This is a very interesting book. It goes deeply in the theme.
It is necessary to have engineering or technical background to understand it, not recommended for not technical minds.
There is one or two false aseverations, but if you are a technician or engineer, you will realize that immediately and in addition those aseverations have not consecuences for the main theme.

4 out of 5 stars Boat Propellers

This book will answer almost every propellers related but needs little update for todays raceboats props..
