This propeller is designed to give your boat more power.

It's Federal Propeller's 4-blade "Power Thrust."

Install it instead of a 3-blade. The result is greater power, smoother operation.

Which means better handling and ma- neuvering. Reduced engine wear. Better fuel economy. And that's not all... "Power

Thrust" was heavy-duty designed with heavy blade edges to resist damage. So costly repairs .. . haul out and downtime are vastly reduced.

Available through 96" in Federal's "B" Bronze, or super tough Ni-Bral, also in Stainless Steel through 40" diameter.

Get a "Power Thrust." You'll notice the difference. See your marine dealer or contact Federal Propellers,Grand Rapids,
