Commercial Inboard Propellers

The Michigan Wheel Work Horse and Machine Pitch propellers are the best known commercial boat propellers in the world, offering durability and performance for a wide range of vessels.

Michigan Wheel’s Dyna-Quad (DQ) propellers have often been used for medium to higher speed commercial applications. Over the years we have created three specialized styles of DQ propellers that meet the needs of many of today’s commercial applications.

The Kaplan propeller is designed for hard working Trawlers, Draggers and Tugs. Switching to a ducted propeller from an open propeller is one of the most effective ways to get more thrust from a vessel for the same amount of input power.

Weedless Propellers are specially designed with durable, highly skewed blades for Mud Boats in shallow weed infested waters. Because of their unique design, Weedless Propellers have also become a preferred choice in many water treatment projects and other industrial applications.

Michigan Wheel is always looking for ways to provide cutting edge propulsion technologies to its customers. By partnering with Nakashima Propeller, we have been able to expand our commercial propeller offerings to include controllable pitch propellers and fixed pitch propellers, fitting a wide range of applications.

Michigan Wheel’s partnership with Nakashima has allowed us to provide our customers with high-quality Bow Thrusters that can be used in a wide range of vessels including freighters, fishing vessels, ferries, roll-on/roll-off vessels, container ships, offshore supply vessels, and patrol crafts.

Replacing propellers with designs not specialized for your application can result in haul-outs, pitch changes, new vibrations, and decreased performance, which is why Michigan Wheel still supports legacy propeller designs that continue to be highly effective for their application.

Michigan Power Tow propellers are designed to provide the maximum thrust vessels needed, with the maximized fuel efficiency you want.  Each propeller is built to Michigan Wheel's high quality material standards.  Keeping an earned reputation of reliable, repairable propellers for over 100 years.

The Dyna Series is Michigan Wheel’s classic line of performance pleasure boat propellers. Available in 3, 4, and 5 blade models to cover a wide range of vessels, The Dyna Series continues to be one of Michigan Wheel’s most popular series of propellers and is considered by many to be the standard in recreational propellers. 

The “M” Series is globally sourced as the economically advantageous standard series propeller line, manufactured to meet Michigan Wheel’s strict quality standards and performance requirements for a number of different recreational and commercial applications.
