| 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 40% 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 Delrin™. 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. |
