When shopping for marine steering controls propellers, the choice often comes down to rotation direction and mounting compatibility. The two Michigan Wheel Twister propellers here are both polished stainless steel, three-blade designs, but they're aimed at different engines. The Twister 223036 is a universal left-hand model with a 23-inch pitch, while the Twister 103105 is a Yamaha V6 wide-blade right-hand model with a 21-inch pitch. Before you spend on either, make sure you know which rotation your boat needs.
Quick verdict: If your setup calls for left-hand (counter) rotation at 23 inches of pitch, choose the Twister 223036. At USD 225.99, it's the lower-priced of the two, and it's sold as a universal propeller without a hub kit. If you have a Yamaha V6 wide-blade outboard that needs right-hand (standard) rotation at 21 inches, pick the Twister 103105 for USD 229.99; it includes a splined hub with 15 splines.
| Product | Listed Price | Rotation | Pitch | Compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Twister 223036 | USD 225.99 | Left Hand | 23" | Universal; hub kit not included |
| Twister 103105 | USD 229.99 | Right Hand | 21" | Yamaha V6 wide-blade; 15 splines |
Where each product wins:
- Twister 223036 is the stronger pick when you need counter-rotation and a 23-inch pitch. The polished stainless build includes three 1/4-inch vent holes, and the universal nature means you can pair it with your own hub kit.
- Twister 103105 is the better choice for Yamaha V6 wide-blade outboards. It matches right-hand rotation and a 21-inch pitch, and the integrated splined hub with 15 splines aligns with that engine family. It's also made in the United States.
Michigan Wheel Twister 223036
This polished stainless steel propeller is the lower-priced option in this head-to-head. Sized at 14 5/8 x 23P, it delivers left-hand (counter) rotation and a 23-inch pitch in a three-blade design. It also includes three 1/4-inch vent holes. The propeller is made in Thailand. One important detail is that the hub kit is not included, so you'll need to provide a compatible hub to mount it on your drive system. Choose this one if you need counter rotation at a 23-inch pitch and you already have the hub kit ready. Its main limitation is that it's not a complete assembly.
Michigan Wheel Twister 103105
This polished stainless steel propeller is the higher-priced option in this pair. Sized at 14 3/4 x 21P, it uses right-hand (standard) rotation at a 21-inch pitch and is designed as a three-blade propeller. It comes with a splined hub with 15 splines, sized for Yamaha V6 wide-blade outboards. The propeller is made in the United States. Choose it when your engine matches that Yamaha V6 wide-blade spline setup and you want a 21-inch pitch. The limitation is that its stated application is specific to those Yamaha outboards, so it's not described as a universal fit like the 223036.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the Twister 223036 when you need left-hand rotation, a 23-inch pitch, and you have a hub kit ready to pair with a universal propeller.
- Choose the Twister 103105 when you have a Yamaha V6 wide-blade outboard and want right-hand rotation at 21 inches with a splined hub.
