Aluminum vs. Stainless Steel Boat Propellers

Aluminum vs. Stainless Steel
The decision between purchasing an aluminum or stainless steel propeller can be difficult. However if you fully understand the differences between them, your decision can be much easier.

The most common understanding of the difference is that stainless steel propellers perform better than aluminum propellers. This is only half true. Material (Stainless vs Aluminum) only accounts for approximately 10% of the actual performance of the propeller. The other 90% of performance is in the blade design.

Well designed aluminum propellers will out perform an average stainless steel propeller. So it's important to research a propeller's performance before your purchase. It is also important to try different pitches and brands to get your boat dialed in to the best possible propeller.
The advantage of a stainless steel propeller over aluminum is durability. Stainless props can withstand more of the damage caused by small rocks, sand, or other loose objects in the water.

However, the disadvantage to a stainless propeller is that there is ?minimal give" to the blades, so if you hit an object hard enough, there is a possibility of causing major damage to your lower unit is increased greatly. With aluminum props, the blades will most likely sacrifice themselves before any damage is caused to your lower unit.

If you run in deep or familiar waters, or in salt/brackish water, a stainless steel propeller can be a good choice. But it is important to always carry a spare propeller on board, and a spare aluminum is an inexpensive choice.

The North American Fishing Club (www.fishingclub.com) conducted a field test of our Hustler aluminum boat propellers. The field testers recorded their own performance test results of the Turning Point Hustler aluminum propellers versus their current propeller.

The results were unanimous! Turning Point received a 100% approval rating. Every boater that tested our propellers experienced a performance increase over their current propeller!

Hustler High Performance Boat Propellers

Turning Point's Hustler High Performance Series aluminum propellers now feature the newly designed MasterGuard Hub System. Created specifically to give boats a higher top-end speed, better handling, a faster hole shot and more efficiency, Hustler propellers maximize overall performance. The aluminum propellers incorporate the same high performance designs found in stainless steel props to give boaters a less expensive way to gain stainless steel?like performance.

The High Performance Series is designed for all engines ranging from 40 hp to 300 hp with 4-1/4" to 4-3/4" gearcases. The interchangeable hub allows boaters to save money on future prop purchases, since spare or different pitched propellers don't require another hub purchase.

Turning Point recommends that every boat have a spare propeller onboard to insure a day on the water isn't ruined by a broken prop or to allow for adjustments in different situations. Using a prop 2" in pitch less makes a big difference when more people are onboard or the boat is being used for watersports. The smaller pitch helps offset the added weight and drag on the motor and increases performance under these circumstances.

Nauticus Smart Tabs Trim Tabs Increase Performance


Nauticus Smart Tabs trim tabs, Smart Tabs II trim tabs and Mobster Tabs bass boat trim tabs are designed to outperformed any competitive trim tab system with one more key advantage: THEY ARE FULLY AUTOMATIC!!!

Other trim tab sets are very complicated to install. You need to run wires through your boat and connect a control panel. Plus you constantly have to manually adjust your plate settings when you accelerate, decelerate, and turn if you want them to perform. With Nauticus trim tabs, they automatically adjust for you according to how you run your boat! The best trim tabs available for less than the competition.

The best part is that boat trim tabs from Nauticus will perform better than manually adjusting trim
tabs! We even offer a 30 day money back guarantee!!! Don't buy any trim tabs if they are not from Nauticus, Inc.

Here's how Nauticus trim tabs work:
The nitrogen Gas Actuator provides LIFT at the stern of the boat by holding the trim plate down during acceleration. The amount of LIFT is determined by the actuator load rating and the trim plate adjustment, which is done at the time of installation.

  • Reduce the minimum planing speed by 33%
  • Increase maximum speeds
  • Provide a level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds
  • Improve economy, handling and safety
NO HYDRAULICS - NO ELECTRIC SWITCHES
Nauticus trim tabs are completely automatic requiring no operator adjustment while underway.

The nitrogen Gas Actuator provides LIFT at the stern of the boat by holding the trim plate down during acceleration. The amount of LIFT is determined by the actuator load rating and the trim plate adjustment, which is done at the time of installation.


SPEED REGULATION
Nauticus trim tabs start in a downward angel to maximize lift at slow speeds. As the boat accelerates, the water pushes up on the trim plates providing lift to the stern which minimizes bow rise, and allows the boat to plane quickly.

Once the water pressure exceeds the actuator load rating (maximum lift) the trim plates move up to a horizontal position eliminating any drag.

BOAT STABILIZERS
Even when cruising SMART TABS continue to work like shock absorbers. The constant adjustment to sea conditions allow SMART TABS to provide remarkable stability in turns, while crossing waves, while cruising, and while running at maximum speeds. No more sliding, porpoising, or chine walking.

ONE OF A KIND
The unique system of Nauticus trim tabs is the only one of its kind in the industry. The internal valve system is truly "smart" in its design of controlling you boats performance.

It will reduce the minimum planing speed by 33%
Provide a level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds
Improve economy, handling and safety

As the boat speed increases, the water pressure also increases. Once the water pressure exceeds the Actuator load rating (maximum LIFT period) the trim plates begin to move upward until they are horizontal with the bottom of the boat.

The internal valve system dampens the trim plate movement wich eliminates any instant reaction to minor water pressure variances. Nauticus trim tabs provide smooth and undetectable reaction to boat speed creating a level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds.

Nauticus Trim Tabs are available online at eBuyersWorld.com

For the Performance-Minded Angler...Humminbird 931

For the Performance-Minded Angler the Humminbird 931 GPS/Sonar is a Must
by: NS Kennedy

Let me tell you about the technology that allows you to find even the remotest fish hiding well below the surface.

First off, the high performance sonar on this fishfinder comes with an ultra wide display that has extraordinary resolution. What does this mean for you? It delivers for you a clear view of the bottom of the lake. You get a clear image of what is below you and therefore can arrange your attacks on those fish better. This is great because it allows you to see more of the bed at one time. The more enhanced the image is, the more details you will have of what’s below. Then, you’ll know just what you are after and be able to catch it.

If you’re concerned about taking a piece of highly valuable technology out onto the water, don’t. This fishfinder is safe in fresh and saltwater. It also allows for a sunlight viewable screen. When the sun is glaring down, you’ll still see what is in that lake on your display. And, it offers an in dash mount which leaves your hands free to stay with your fish or to get your line ready.

The Humminbird 931 is ready for your outdoor adventure. It comes ready to please you with plug and play compatibility, programmable views, and GPS ready software.

Make Traveling A Lot Less Stressful With The Right Type Of Car GPS

Make Traveling A Lot Less Stressful With The Right Type Of Car GPS
by: John Rivers

Navigating using maps can be very frustrating especially if you are doing so while driving your car. This becomes even stressful when you are driving all alone in a strange territory. Sometimes, however, having someone with you won’t help either, because more often than not, your companion would end up confusing you more than helping you navigate the road.

But traveling need not always be this difficult. It doesn’t even have to be stressful. If you think it is the map that is causing you your problems, then better get away with it and throw it outside your vehicle’s window. Instead, go get a new car GPS receiver and use it instead of the map.

Car GPS Devices

Simply said, a car GPS device is a GPS receiver especially designed for cars and their navigation systems. Like all other types of GPS receivers, car GPS devices can also receive signals from GPS satellites and can use the information carried by these signals to determine its current location. But because they are meant to be used on moving vehicles, they must be stuffed with features specific to vehicle navigations systems.

In particular, car GPS devices must be able to give you the best possible route toward a particular destination. It must also be able to recalculate your route in case you miss a particular route instruction. It must also have a text and/or voice system for giving directions. Other basic features that all car GPS devices must have are:

• Map storage system

• Screen or display that can handle images of more than 320x240 pixels in size at a resolution and brightness suitable for driving.

• Address book for storing frequently visited addresses and points of interest

• Detachable or external antenna for better GPS visibility

Now, there are a lot of car GPS devices of different kinds and brands available for every type and brand of car there is today. Because of this, you may find it difficult to select the particular car GPS that would perfectly fit your needs, should you want to experience the functionality of one.

In general, however, you’ve got two options should you want to travel with a car GPS device. The first option is to purchase a vehicle with built-in or fixed car GPS system. The other option is to purchase a portable car GPS device suitable for your car.

Buying a Vehicle with a Fixed Car GPS Device

Built-in or fixed car GPS devices can usually be found only on brand new luxury vehicles. As such, you definitely wouldn’t see this option viable if you don’t have the cash to purchase a luxury vehicle. But for those who can easily afford one, this can be the best option because the GPS device is already integrated in the vehicle’s system. This removes all the hassle of installing the car GPS device on the vehicle and loading additional navigation software on the system.

Buying a Portable Car GPS Device

For those who simply can’t afford a new luxury vehicle but still wants to enjoy the functionality of a car GPS system, the viable option for him is to purchase a portable car GPS device. Now, for this type of car GPS device, you are again given two options: a portable car GPS preloaded with maps or a unit that would require you to transfer map data from your PC to the device.

Since the car GPS device needs to have a map in either option, choosing a car GPS unit preloaded with maps would seem to be a wiser choice. But while this type of car GPS device will save you from all the hassles of loading maps to the system, it also costs higher ($1,000-$1,500) than the other option.

The greatest advantage of portable car GPS units that requires map transfers, on the other hand, is their price, which would generally sell at the $500 to $800 range. Installing the system on your car, however, may be quite difficult and laborious.

How to Choose a GPS
by: Billy Bert

You've heard that new sport, geocaching, is fun. Or, you're tired of getting lost on your travels. Welcome to the 21st century. Global Postioning System (GPS) has been around long enough that prices are reasonable and the technology is user-friendly. With myriad brands and models, how to choose?

If you want a GPS for both hiking and driving use, then a handheld unit would be the way to go. Some handhelds even have accessories to allow them to be installed in an automobile. But don't rule out a PDA. More on that in a moment. For driving only, there are GPS receivers made just for vehicle use.

Handheld GPS receivers are either mapping or non--mapping. A basic, non--mapping unit can often cost less than $100 US and usually has/displays the following:

* Location
* Compass heading
* Elevation above sea level
* Accurate time
* Satellite location and signal strength
* The ability to calculate distance traveled
* The ability to record your path as a set of waypoints
* The ability to navigate routes
* The ability to retrace your steps

Handheld mapping receivers do all the above plus have the ability to display maps. The maps are either pre--loaded or uploaded from your PC. Prices are reasonable for mapping units, starting at around $150 US.

Paper maps are strongly recommended whether you're using a mapping receiver or not. Paper maps do not require batteries and probably won't go defective. Also, a paper map gives you a "big picture" view of your situation -- something lacking on the small screen of a GPS.

I mentioned earlier your considering a PDA with GPS capability. A PDA is bulkier and the battery life is usually shorter, but if you're using a PDA anyway, then there are several ways to turn a PDA into a GPS. Some PDAs accept a GPS "sleeve." That is a device that the PDA nestles into. Another choice is one of Garmin's PDAs. Garmin is probably the most popular GPS maker and they have one PDA/GPS that is Palm--based and one that is Pocket PC--based.

Prices for automotive GPS start at around $250 US. These provide turn--by--turn guidance. Spend a little more than that and you get voice guidance. These are larger than handhelds in order to accommodate a screen large enough to be seen while driving. They are powered by the car's electrical system and because of this, they can only be used in a vehicle.

Many automobile manufacturers now offer built-in GPS receivers as an option. Because they are built-in, the big advantages are security and aesthetics. They are quite a bit more expensive than add-on units and often have fewer options. I've also heard some stories of people having a hard time getting map updates.

A PDA/GPS is a good alternative for automotive use. Its screen is about the size of an automotive unit, so seeing the display is not a problem. They can also be powered by the car, eliminating battery worries. The Garmin PDAs mentioned above both come with the hardware and software for automotive use.

If you're hiking, a basic handheld unit (without maps) will be fine since you'll always have paper maps with you anyway (you will, won't you?). An advantage to a handheld mapping unit is that they usually have more advanced features than the basic units. For driving, you have the choice of a handheld, in--car dedicated, or PDA. The handheld does have limited usefulness in a car, as it does not provide turn--by--turn guidance.
