Technical Performance
The PRB Propeller Z-PRB0313 is designed as a direct replacement component for the Pro Boat Recoil 2 18 brushless electric RC boat. The Recoil 2 18 is a high-performance deep-V hull design that combines brushless motor technology with modern brushless ESC systems, and this propeller is engineered to work harmoniously with that complete drivetrain package. Propeller selection is critical in RC boating—the pitch, diameter and blade design all affect how the motor loads, how efficiently power is transferred to the water, and ultimately how your boat accelerates and reaches top speed. The Pro Boat engineering team has optimised this propeller specifically for the Recoil 2 18 platform, taking into account the motor characteristics, ESC performance curve, and hull hydrodynamics. Regular inspection of your propeller is recommended as part of routine maintenance, and balancing your prop helps maximise both efficiency and runtime. The stainless steel variant (PRB-1374) is also available if you prefer enhanced corrosion resistance in salt water or long-term freshwater storage scenarios. Keeping a spare propeller in your RC toolkit is standard practice among serious RC boaters in the UK, as it eliminates downtime from accidental damage and allows quick testing if you suspect prop damage affecting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What boats does the PRB Propeller Z-PRB0313 fit? — This propeller is designed for the Pro Boat Recoil 2 18 and is compatible with both the Miss Geico 17 (MG17) and IMPULSE 17 (IM17) variants, making it suitable for owners of those specific hull configurations.
- Why do I need a spare propeller for my RC boat? — Propellers are the first line of contact with obstacles in the water, and accidental damage such as impact with rocks, debris or shallow bottom strikes is common in RC boating. Having a spare propeller on hand means you can replace a damaged one immediately and get back on the water without waiting for delivery, whilst a balanced spare also allows you to test performance consistency between different propellers.
- How often should I inspect my propeller? — We recommend inspecting your propeller before each boating session, looking for visible damage, cracks, bent blades or imbalance, as these issues directly affect performance and can strain your motor and ESC.
- Is there a stainless steel version available? — Yes, Pro Boat also offers a stainless steel propeller (PRB-1374) for the Recoil 2 18, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance if you plan to run in salt water or store your boat for extended periods.
- What maintenance does a propeller need? — Regular inspection for damage is essential, and balancing your propeller improves efficiency and reduces vibration. Always rinse your propeller with fresh water after each session, particularly if you've been running in salt water, to prevent corrosion and salt buildup.
