Yamaha Marine Precision Propellers, Sharrow Marine announce agreement

Yamaha’s U.S. Marine Business Unit announced a new manufacturing and limited supply agreement between Yamaha Marine Precision Propellers (YPPI) and Sharrow Marine. The terms of the agreement allow YPPI to cast Sharrow Marine’s award-winning propellers in YPPI’s state-of-the-art facility and foundry in Greenfield, Ind. Yamaha will also offer Sharrow Propellers through its boat builder and dealer distribution channels.

“Sharrow Marine’s choice of YPPI as a manufacturing and distribution partner underscores Yamaha’s leadership position in the casting industry,” said Jonathon Burns, General Manager, Yamaha US Marine Planning and Development. “Through YPPI and our new relationship with Sharrow Marine, Yamaha can offer boat builders, dealers and customers an even greater number of options when it comes to maximizing boat performance through propeller selection.”

Yamaha will offer the Sharrow Propeller as a new option to more than 100 of the world’s boat builders and its network of more than 2,000 dealers. The Sharrow propellers will have unique SKU numbers for Yamaha dealers to easily order for their customers.

Sharrow Marine won an NMMA Innovation Award during the 2020 Miami International Boat Show for the Sharrow Propeller. Recognized for its original design, the Sharrow Propeller offers improvements in fuel efficiency and boat performance.
