Well its December 18 already. I seem to have slipped as far as keeping up the blog but busy means busy.

It has been a frustrating month with people obviously shopping around for the best prices and good on you, but please dont bring internet purchased propellers

here expecting me to repair inferior alloys, rebush crooked housings,bent bushes or supply bush kits forgotten by ripoffs overseas.

It is about time some people realise and understand that you pay for quality, five year warranties and lifetime warranty on castings.

Only SOLAS offer these Warranties, but sure, if it comes with free freight it must be bloody good :)

Id like to take this opportunity to thank my loyal dealers and customers for sticking together in this last year.

Definitely not a business year anybody wants repeated that is for sure.

I will be staying open until 12.00pm Xmas eve the 24th of December

Opening for a half day on Monday the 29th of December and,

as long as customer demand says on tuesday the 30th of December.

So we are closed from 31.12.2014 reopening on Tuesday the 6th of January

Compliments of the season to you all

Merry Christmas and really have a Happy New Year

MICHAEL

Its a beautiful Thursday afternoon prior to the Mandurah Boat show. Looks like a nice weekend for a change.

We wont be attending this year as you just cant be in two places at once.

We however have a co-worker from the Queensland branch that has his full range of Miya Epoc electric reels

and plenty of the latest Wizard Tackle for you to see. He is Larry Diamond, related to Mike the Olympic shooter.

Hell of a nice fellow, greek too so im biased.

A hidden box of Just Propellers WA stubby holders are on the stand as well.

Go and see Larry and work a holder out of him.

Cheers

Well it seems that the latest trend is to call me at Just Propellers WA and ask for the free advise on which pitch propeller will suit the new boat, repower, Import etc.

I can assure you that with our pitch and prop exchange system that we will get the best performance, correct rpm as per manufacturers specs or your money back.

But, as far as calling and asking which pitch propeller you need and then buying elsewhere or getting it free with the new outboard purchase, this will not happen!

JUST PROPELLERS WA . DEDICATED TO SERVICE AND RELIABILITY SECOND TO NONE

Free advise is included in the price of the propeller with the five year Warranty. That is unmatched Australia wide

cheers

FOR SALE AS WE ARE MOVING ON FROM RACING PROPELLERS

1 X Menkens Lefty  3  X 10.5  X 15.30 Pitch with 20 degree rake.

Obviously the exact dimensions are withheld until the $2000.00 is paid in cash.

No trial, No returns, No regrets. The prop Won the 2013 W.A. King of the River and the Open unlimited titles in Perth

Against a fancy white boat's (SACRIFICE) Propeller and seriously held its own.

Call michael 1300 4 props

These computer guys.. they think this is funny getting a propeller fixer, welder etc to sit down once a month and write about his Industry.

What I have noticed this month is a serious downturn in servicing being done in time for the new season.

We ran special last month offering a free prop check , new split pin and a couple of new 2014 stubby holders. Not one taker!

no big deal but its better than a kick in the ass I suppose :). boats. need servicing, maintenance and warranties on major components.

At SOLAS our stainless steel range of propellers afford a full five year warranty.!

We do not wish to be known as the single use, non repairable die cast alloy propeller maker.

ok. off to enforce the mum duties for the next fortnight. Early lunch with my mum in doubleview so if the shop is closed when you get here, it wont be for long:)

Welcome to the first 2014 blog for Just Propellers WA,whos owner is me, Michael Constantine. Howdy. Over the past 11 years in this Industry it has been made plain and simple to me and others still in the Industry, that if you do not keep your pencils sharp,your buying power keen and a handle on your business, you will invaribly fail..

In  recent years and months the closing down of some of the most iconic businesses, names and manufacturers in Perth is a worrying  trend that I hope slows soon.Sure we all wish to save a buck,spend less, get more,but from my personal  experience in the long run it will only cost the people who run with these internet purchasing ideas that will be the biggest losers. The internet has reduced the worlds contact size dramatically. It is really amazing but isnt it funny how when you want to return something how quickly that the world almost explodes back to normal size.

This is how we blow overseas suppliers away;.

1.PITCH AND PROP EXCHANGE ON ALL TRIAL PROPELLERS

2.FAST EASY FREIGHT THAT IS AFFORDABLE FOR TRIALLING PROPELLERS.

3. WE ARE IN THE SAME COUNTRY

4.WE WILL ANSWER CALLS IF WE MAKE A MISTAKE

AND 5. REALLY THE BEST THING IS WE DO NOT COPY, COLOUR OR TRY TO SELL AS A SOLAS ANY THING THAT ISNT A SOLAS

We even had a new supplier of inferior brand propellers move into a suburb in Queensland and sell himself off as the SOLAS man.Been here for 25 years! not!

I suppose the best form of praise is to be copied!

Well ive just had another sea container of propellers delivered so i best get into it ,count it and stack it away ready for the summer rush

All the best and cheers

MICHAEL
