Hustler 3-Blade Aluminum Propeller – 13.25" x 23" | Right Hand Rotation

Hustler 3-Blade Aluminum Propeller – 13.25" x 23" | Right Hand Rotation

The Hustler 3-blade aluminum propeller at 13.25" x 23" is the highest-pitch option in the Hustler aluminum lineup for 4.25" gearcase engines. At 23" pitch, this is an extreme specialist — suited only to engines that are running significantly below the bottom of their WOT RPM range on a 21" pitch prop and have confirmed headroom to step up further. It delivers maximum top-end speed on the right application, but is not a general-purpose prop selection. Designed for 40–150 hp engines with 4.25" gearcases.

Important: Over-pitching an engine is a common and costly mistake. If you haven’t already confirmed your WOT RPM on a 19" or 21" pitch prop, start there. See the 13.25" x 19" or 13.25" x 21" before considering this pitch.

Key Features

• Stainless steel geometry in aluminum — Blade profiles drawn from the same stainless steel designs, giving this prop a performance edge over standard die-cast aluminum propellers.
• Squeeze cast construction — High-density casting produces stiffer blades with less flex, improving propulsive efficiency and fuel economy compared to conventional die-cast aluminum props.
• Tuned exhaust vents — Free-flowing exhaust ports reduce backpressure and water density around the blades at acceleration, improving hole shot and horsepower delivery.
• Ultracoat™ five-step powder coat finish — Superior corrosion and abrasion resistance compared to standard painted finishes. Keeps the prop looking sharp season after season.
• Wide engine compatibility — Fits Evinrude®, Honda®, Johnson®, Mariner®, Mercury®, MerCruiser®, Nissan®, OMC®, Parsun®, Suzuki®, Tohatsu®, and Yamaha® outboards and sterndrives.

Parts Desk Insights

Best use case: The 13.25" x 23" is an extreme pitch specialist — only recommend it when a customer has already confirmed through on-water testing that their engine is running below the bottom of its WOT RPM range on a 21" pitch prop and needs to step up further. This scenario is uncommon and typically limited to very light, fast hulls with high-revving engines in ideal conditions. In most real-world situations, 21" pitch will already be at or beyond the practical limit for engines in this gearcase class. Never recommend this prop as a first step or without confirmed RPM data — over-pitching causes the engine to lug, reduces performance, and can cause long-term damage. If a customer is asking about this pitch without having tested lower options, redirect them to the 13.25" x 21" or 13.25" x 19" first. Always confirm engine make, model, year, gearcase size, and current WOT RPM before recommending any pitch change.
