Nakashima Marine Propulsion

Founded in 1926, Nakashima brings a century of manufacturing history to the leisure marine market, having produced a vast volume of recreational propellers and propulsion gear.

The company caters to nearly every segment of the boating world, supplying custom and standardized equipment for motor yachts, sailboats, canal boats, and day cruisers. This deep industry background forms the foundation of its global distribution and engineering network.

For powerboats and large motor yachts, the company delivers complete underwater hardware setups, including the well-known Goldline and high-performance Powerline propeller series.

Owners and builders can source full propulsion packages that bundle shaft systems, couplings, struts, and rudder arrangements with essential accessories like shaft seals and rope cutters. These components are engineered to work together seamlessly, reducing installation complexity for shipyards.

Sailing yachts are equally supported with a dedicated range of propellers and sterngear tailored to minimize drag under sail while providing reliable thrust under power. To back up its hardware, Nakashima maintains a large inventory of off-the-shelf spare parts for rapid delivery during scheduled maintenance or emergency breakdowns.

A specialized in-house workshop also handles complex repairs and re-conditioning for all standard bronze and stainless-steel alloys.
