FOLDING PROPELLERS

For the serious racer, our Slipstream folding propellers utilise centrifugal force to improve performance. With the engine on the prop shaft turns and this force opens the blades. When the engine is turned off, the centrifugal force disappears and the water pressure forces blades into a folded position. This results in less drag when compared to fixed or feathering propellers with the added benefit of a reduced risk of catching kelp and ropes.

Major parts are cast from 316 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. Bronze blade bushes are easy to replace.

Kits are available for user self-service to replace worn parts like blade pins and bushes.
