Specially designed to fit a wide range of vessels, the BilgeKleen™ filter system from Centek Industries automatically removes oil, gas, diesel fuel and other hydrocarbon pollutants from bilge water before it is discharged overboard.

The patented system uses a filtering medium that binds to hydrocarbons and allows water to pass through freely. As a result, over 99.9% of the hydrocarbon pollutants are captured with no increase in pressure to the bilge pump. The BilgeKleen System installs easily to the bilge pump discharge line and includes an absorbent pad for the bilge sump area to capture harmful contaminants where they form.

A variety of BilgeKleen System sizes are available to fit almost any bilge space or application from runabouts to commercial vessels.

Now owners can affordably increase their boat’s performance.  Employing high-tech blade geometry, the state-of-the-art Rascal, Hustler and Legacy series aluminum propellers from Turning Point Propellers offer top-end speeds, handling, fast hole shots and fuel efficiency equal to stainless steel without the high cost.

With the highest mechanical properties attainable in cast products, the durable Rascal, Hustler and Legacy series aluminum propellers are squeeze-cast for added strength, resulting in tighter, smoother grain structures.  Protecting them from corrosion, a five-step process creates a uniform, high-quality, long-lasting and attractive powder-coated finish.

The efficient propellers feature progressive, tuned pitch angles to accelerate and channel water, minimizing slip and improving fuel economy.  Tuned rake angles compact the vortex produced by the prop, lifting the boat and boosting overall performance.  Increasing horsepower, a high-flow, through-barrel exhaust system ensures maximum exhaust current.

Designed to help 8-35 hp engines on smaller vessels such as Jon boats, dinghies, aluminum skiffs and tiller boats reach their full potential, the sturdy, aluminum Rascal props are available for 2-1/2″ and 3″ gearcases.  Perfect for 40-75 hp outboard engines on pontoon, inflatable, fishing, runabout, bay and work boats, the versatile Hustler mid-range props work with 3-1/2″ gearcase engines.  Topping the lineup are the Legacy series high-performance props, which match to 4-1/4″ and 4-3/4″ gearcase engines and inboard/outboards with 40-300+ hp.

Featuring the unique MasterGuard Hub System, the Rascal and Hustler series are compatible with Evinrude/Johnson, Honda, Mercury & Mariner, Yamaha, Suzuki and other similar outboard engines.  The only hub/housing system on the market that extends down to 8 hp, it helps owners save money when replacing or upgrading their damaged props.

Utilizing a high-tech polymer, the interchangeable hub absorbs harmful engine vibrations and shift shock.  Backed by the industry’s only lifetime hub warranty, its marine-brass spline provides a long life and corrosion resistance.

The suggested retail price for the versatile Rascal series propellers from Turning Point is $69.50, the Hustler series starts at $82.50 and the Legacy series starts at $112.50.  Hubs for Rascal housings start at $19.50, while hubs for Hustler housings start at $31.50 and hubs that match the Legacy series housings cost $48.
