I have purchased all the remaining inventory of Torque-Shift parts and components from the manufacturer for resale, trade and exchange. Contact me for all your Torque-Shift propeller needs. I also have arranged with a top propeller repair shop, to fix damaged blades.
TORQUE SHIFT PROPELLER PARTS AVAILABLE
You can pay on Paypal.com or prepay by calling me and telling me what you want with an address. I prefer to do business on the Internet when possible. Costs include shipping in the U.S. I also have some new and used hubs and blades. Email or fax for information.

Note: I'll be out of town from July 23th to August 5th For a Torque Shift to work properly on a boat use the following guide; A boat with a 17" pitch prop must be able to attain a speed of 40 mph or more. A boat with a 19" pitch prop must be able to go 42 mph and at least 4200 RPM's. Large boats that are able to turn a 26" prop over 4,600 RPM require the 32" pitch prop. To tell the prop pitch, somewhere on the hub will be a number with either a 26 or 32 in it, which indicates the pitch size. Land and Sea does not make the Torque Shift variable pitch propellers anymore. This propeller was a one of a kind as it automatically shifted pitch when a boat is underway. Several of the propeller parts can wear or break under misuse. All the parts can be replaced if needed. This business is designed to buy available parts as well as good used propellers. If you need parts, contact me and I'll let you know what I have. If you have used parts, email me a picture and description and I'll make you an offer.
Thanks, Bob Merriam
Land and Seas made changes to the propellers over the years.
Be careful which model you buy as some parts won't fit the first 2
models.
1. Props 1 and 2 used a 1" propeller shaft which require a different bearing and cam. They also had 5/8" prop guide pins. The very fist models had no cams but curved slots in the propeller shafts that a tapered guide pin rode in. The shape of the slot couldn't be adjusted. 1" and 1.25" measurements are the diameter of each propeller blade shaft where it enters the hub, not the drive shaft diameter.
2. The later props had 1.125" propeller shafts that use the
current bearings I'm having made. The cams are interchangeable
in these models and most of the guide pin are 1/2" in diameter. I
will have bushings to fit these also.
3. Also for sale, rubber and solid hubs for most inboards and outboards, 26" or 32". These come with a 1"-15 spline slot for Merc/OMC drivers and 19 spline for Volvo. The rubber hubs require a rear thrust washer for $35.00 extra. 4. New rubber hubs, $400.00, solid hubs, $325.00. Both include new high pitch set screws, new guide pin and blades shaft bearings. The quantity is limited and when sold that will be the end of the new hubs forever.
Contrary to the LS literature, the blades of the same pitch
are not all interchangeable. Small variations in the pitch occurred
in machining so when a prop was assembled, blades were selected
that were within 1 degree of each other. If more than that a
slight vibration could occur.
If I have any extra blades to sell you need to send me the
good blades to try and match up with my inventory.
I mention all this so that if you are buying on Ebay, you
don't end up with an earlier model.
If you are buying on Ebay, you can email me for an opinion
if you'll attach the web address.
I decided to buy the remaining Land and Sea inventory in January and try to supply propeller parts to the current prop owners, realizing how important to my boating my TS prop was. Between then and April I had to find manufacturers to take over the job of reverse engineering the replaceable parts. The following manufactures became interested in what I was doing and were fully supportive. Without their help I wouldn't be where I am now .
1. Bearings, Tri Star Plastics, Shrewsbury MA.
2. Springs, The Hurley Manufacturing Co., New Hartford, CT.
3. Prop washer, drilling diffuser rings, RCR Fabrication,
Santa Cruz, CA.
4. Guide Pins, Puget Sound Precision, Kingston, WA.
5. Cams, Prunella Machine, Santa Cruz, CA. This
was a huge undertaking.
6. Pacific Heat Treating, Sunnyvale, CA
7. Web design and maintenance,
Charles Cox, Santa
Cruz, CA.
8. Cam digitizing , Industrial Arts and Designs, Ian Melody, Emeryville, Ca. Website Design and Search Engine Optimization by ©2008 Charles Cox 2cSystems.com all rights reserved |
