| Under sail the 3 blades are free
to “weathervane” individually to the local water
flow and not just feather in a fixed pattern aligned with the
shaft. This patented feature really minimises drag and so further
increases boat speed.
Our blades are of 50% glass reinforced hi-tech Zytel™,
an extremely tough space age material, highly resistant to
abrasion, chemicals and to repeated impact.
Hub castings are
Stainless Steel 316, Nose cones in Glass filled Polypropeline. Pitch is
easily adjusted externally and lubrication is also handled
externally, so maintenance is simple.
The large area blades provide outstanding motoring capability,
a real boon when punching through adverse conditions. There
is instant full pitch in reverse and so stopping, berthing
and reversing are simple, with minimal “prop walk”
on most installations. |
