7 More Than a Supplier — A Partner Turning Point backs its props with the most experienced technical team in the marine industry — staff averaging 35+ years of propulsion experience — plus a network of knowledgeable independent reps who know your local market. Real human support is a phone call away for fitment questions, product training, and merchandising help, alongside selection tools that turn any associate into a prop expert. With Turning Point, you don’t get just a supplier — you get a partner invested in your sell-through and your success. How to Sell More Turning Point at Your Counter • Lead with the feel. Tell customers they’ll notice better hole shot and speed on the very first run — owners rarely switch back. • Sell the system, not just the prop. The lifetime hub is a closing tool: “Buy it once, covered for life.” • Step them up to stainless or 4-blade. Both are honest upgrades with real performance gains — and a higher ticket for you. • Lean on the support. Use the fitment tools and tech team to turn any associate into a prop expert and cut costly mis-sells. • Close with confidence. Remind hesitant buyers about the Prop Exchange Program — if it’s not the perfect fit, they can swap it. No reason to wait. • Stock smart, merchandise it. One hub system covers the line, so carry the bestsellers and display aluminum and stainless side by side. The 4-Blade Advantage — Without the Trade-Off With most brands, moving a customer to a 4-blade prop means trading away top-end speed to gain better acceleration. Turning Point’s 4-blade designs change that equation. They hold the same top speed under load as a comparable 3-blade — while adding the classic 4-blade benefits of faster acceleration, stronger hole shot, a smoother ride, and better handling, especially when loaded with passengers and gear. Your customer gets the best of both worlds, with no speed penalty to apologize for. Dealer takeaway: This makes the 4-blade an easy, confident upsell. You can recommend it for improved all-around performance without the usual “but you’ll lose top speed” objection — a cleaner sale, a higher ticket, and a happier boater. The Inventory Advantage — Stock Less, Cover More Here’s where Turning Point stands apart for the dealer’s bottom line. Turning Point requires the least amount of inventory to cover the most applications. Every propeller across the complete line uses the same two-piece propeller housing and interchangeable hub kit system. One smart, modular system spans engine brands and horsepower ranges — so you can cover a huge share of the market with far fewer SKUs on the shelf. • Fewer SKUs, broader coverage — less cash tied up in slow-moving inventory • Simpler fitment — one hub system to learn means faster lookups and quicker sales • Higher inventory turns — the same shelf space works harder and earns more for you Buy the Hub Once — Lifetime, No Questions Asked Turning Point’s MasterGuard hub kit series carries a lifetime warranty — a no-questions-asked replacement policy. A boater buys the hub system once. If the propeller and hub are damaged in an impact, the customer simply replaces the prop — the hub is covered for life. No fighting over claims, no replacing the whole assembly, no friction. The lifetime hub also reduces prop replacement cost by up to 38%, enhanced gear shock absorption helps protect the engine and drive, and eliminates spun hubs and hub cracking. Dealer takeaway: After a prop strike your customer comes back for just a blade — a fast, lower-cost, easy-to-close repeat sale — and they leave knowing their hub is protected for life. That builds loyalty and brings them back to your counter instead of a competitor’s. The Prop Exchange Program — Sell Without the Guesswork Worried a customer might pick the wrong pitch? Turning Point removes the risk. With the Prop Exchange Program (U.S. only), a boater can exchange their Turning Point propeller after the sale for just a $25 fee on aluminum or $45 on stainless steel. If the first prop isn’t the perfect match on the water, dialing in the right one is simple and low-cost — so neither you nor your customer is stuck guessing. Full details at tpprops.com/exchange. Dealer takeaway: This lets your customer buy with confidence today instead of walking away to “think about it.” It closes the sale on the spot, cuts returns and disputes, and turns prop selection into a low-pressure, repeat-business conversation.
