Turning Point Hustler® - Right Hand - Aluminum Propeller - R1-1013 - 3-Blade - 10.125" x 13 Pitch

The Turning Point Hustler® Right Hand Aluminum Propeller (R1-1013, 10.125" x 13 Pitch) is a 3-blade marine propeller engineered to deliver offshore performance without the premium price tag of stainless steel alternatives. Built using advanced Squeeze Casting technology, this aluminum prop combines superior metallurgy with aggressive blade geometry to match or exceed the speed and acceleration of comparable stainless offerings. Weighing 2.9 lbs and dimensioned at 12 x 5 x 12 inches, it integrates seamlessly into standard right-hand rotation installations on center console, bay, and offshore fishing platforms.

The 10.125-inch diameter and 13-pitch configuration makes this prop a versatile choice for mid-range horsepower motors seeking a balance between acceleration and top-end speed. The 13-pitch design allows the engine to turn at optimal RPM ranges across varied sea states and load conditions typical in saltwater and freshwater environments. The proprietary blade geometry reduces ventilation and cavitation—critical factors in rough water where traditional aluminum props often lose traction. Turning Point's reputation for stiff metallurgy means this prop resists flex under load, translating to consistent handling and reduced slippage when trimmed down or running through chop.

This propeller suits weekend anglers and serious offshore fishermen operating boats in the 150–250 HP range. Whether running to the reef, transitioning between shallow and deep water, or maintaining cruise efficiency at full throttle, the Hustler R1-1013 handles the demands of modern fishing schedules without the corrosion vulnerability of unprotected stainless in salt-air environments. The aluminum construction and Squeeze Casting process ensure durability and dimensional consistency across multiple replacements if needed.

Aluminum propellers have long been the baseline for marine propulsion—affordable, reasonably durable, and easy to replace or repair. Turning Point elevated that category by applying racing-grade metallurgy and blade design principles, bridging the performance gap that once clearly favored stainless options. For boaters seeking real-world speed gains and proven reliability without stainless pricing, the Hustler line delivers measurable value.
