JT's Discount Boat Propellers

Austin Mayor Steve Adler has issued a stay-at-home order for the city of Austin, effective 11:59 p.m. Tuesday through April 13.

Our family business is temporarily closed beginning tomorrow due to this city order. We will do our best to communicate via email or you can call and leave a message.

Please keep in mind that online orders may not be able to be fulfilled at this time. If we have to drop ship your prop it will only be contingent our vendor is still operating as well.

These are unprecedented and uncertain times but we are all in this together. We would encourage you all to support local small businesses like ours as best you can. Please know that we will be back ready to serve our community as soon as we are permitted to.
Thank you for understanding as we are doing our best to protect our families and employees.
