The
Kiwi Feather Prop delivers maximum thrust in both forward and reverse
from its three large blades
|
|
|
Zytel,
a modern DuPont composite, as used in large outboard propellers,
minimises corrosion problems
|
 |
As each
individual blade is free to pivot when sailing, each blade is individually
aligned with the ever changing water flow brought about by the movement
of the boat and the differing installed shaft angles. Drag is minimised.
There is no need for a shaft lock to prevent auto-rotation as is
common in geared propellers
|
|
|
Fits
all Saildrives, plus industry standard 1 and 1.25 inch shafts
|
 |
The
light weight Zytel blades and hydrodynamic blade tips provide for
very smooth running at all speeds.
|
|
|
Simple
pitch adjustment, available in left and right handed rotations.
Suitable for 15 to 50 horsepower
|
 |
Reverse
thrust equals forward thrust for maximum maneuverability
|
|
 |
Static
thrust exceeds 425 lbs for 16 inch propeller at 1100 shaft rpm |
