This company and its products are outstanding. My experience with the Featherstream has been exactly as promised, showcasing excellent engineering. During my engine replacement last year, their support was invaluable, offering insightful guidance on compatibility and pitch modifications. When you purchase a propeller, you’re also investing in comprehensive advice on dimensions, setup, and any other inquiries that arise. Truly one of the top firms I’ve interacted with for their exceptional product standards, service, and individualized care.

Darglow is an excellent company to deal with. I purchased a featherstream in 2023 and it really is a brilliant piece of engineering. Always very helpful and courteous when I’ve spoken to them. Great to deal with a local company who provide a great service.

Maxprop inspection and service.

I have just had my Maxprop returned following inspection and service at Darglow. I found the service to be outstanding in every way. Clear communication throughout the process, thorough inspection and report, sound advice, skilful technicians and timely return. I have no hesitation in giving a wholehearted five star review. Thank you Nick and the rest of the team.

Lost the grub screw out of my feather stream. Searched and searched without success so frustrating! Phoned Darglow charming lady answered knew exactly what I wanted. Put it in the post affixed next day free of charge. Great service to go with a great propellor.

Superb!

Superb company and products. My Featherstream has performed as advertised and is a great piece of engineering. When I re-engined a year ago, they were very helpful with advice on compatibility and pitch adjustments. You are not just buying a propellor, but a full advice service on sizing, installation and any other questions you may have! One of the best companies I've dealt with in terms of product quality, customer service and personal attention.

Propeller jammed, leading to a dangerous incident at sea

I recently had a bad experience with this company when a recently purchased Featherstream propeller jammed and caused me to crash into a marina pontoon. The company has refused to offer any form of compensation and has demanded more money to repair and then return the propeller.

I can't recommend them, the more so as the Featherstream propeller is potentially able to fail in such a dangerous manner

Thank you for your review Mr. Carter. As we discussed and found when we attended your boat lift, it was your incorrectly fitted and very worn rope cutter that had moved on the shaft and into the propeller thus damaging it. We have simply asked for payment for the time spent at the boat lift (£72) and have quoted to repair your damaged propeller (£217) so we are confused by this review.
