usually the screws are made out of a high strength bronze. And set up just like your tires with tapered shaft and a honkin big nut to keep it in place. Our carrier lost three blades off #1 screw during our westpac cruise. Frank

Just after graduating from high school a couple of my buddies and I moved into an apartment together. One of my buds worked at the Michigan Wheel factory repairing these big propellers in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I would take him supper sometimes as he worked swing shift and me days. It was interesting seeing those huge props.
