Problems while away from home? Not a problem. Linden Propeller has established relationships with quality propeller service providers throughout the country. And only those who are from an elite group of the NMPA. One call to Gary and a stranded client can be hooked up with a new or repaired propeller in a reasonable period of time. On the domestic front, propellers are shipped via UPS, Federal Express and common carriers throughout the continental United States.

As a charter member, and actively holding a seat on the board of directors of the National Marine Propeller Association, Gary is serious about staying on the cutting edge of propulsion technology through continuing education. Aligning ourselves with this professional group of engineers, Naval architects, and propeller specialists keep us in front of others who are not involved with the NMPA and committed to their business.

"We do everything possible to maintain long-term relationships with our customers," Gary explains. "We don’t cut corners on anything in customer service, or repair procedures. We are not a part time business running out of a two car garage..We have a very focused crew.
