In a size for size exchange, "Power Thrust" offers better maneuvering and handling characteristics, reduced engine wear and greater fuel economy. The heavy duty construction of this exceptional propeller was engineered for cutting through mud and debris with- out damage. Costly haul outs and down- time are practically eliminated, especially if you order your "Power Thrust" in super strong Ni-Bral. Available in all alloys through 96". If you're concerned with eco- nomical, efficient operation, more power to you. See your marine dealer about Federal or contact Federal Propellers, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49502.
