Gori 11.5x9.5x2RHS Folding Propeller – 2-Blade, Ø11.5", Pitch 9.5", Saildrive for DV10LSME

Gori 11.5x9.5x2RHS Folding Propeller – 2-Blade, Ø11.5", Pitch 9.5", Saildrive for DV10LSME

The Gori 11.5x9.5x2RHS-DV10LSME is a high-efficiency 2-blade folding propeller engineered for use with DV10LSME saildrives. Featuring a diameter of 11.5” and a 9.5” pitch, this propeller supports engines up to 44 kW (60 hp). Its design is the result of over 25 years of continuous refinement, integrating modern manufacturing and hydrodynamic testing to ensure optimal performance.

Key Features:

• Diameter: 11.5” / Pitch: 9.5” / Rotation: Right-hand (RHS)
• Compatible with saildrives, specifically DV10LSME
• Supports engine output up to 44 kW (60 hp)
• 2-blade folding design reduces drag during sailing
• Synchronous wing movement via toothed connection minimizes vibration
• Automatic blade folding while sailing reduces resistance by up to 35%
• Potential speed increase of up to 1 knot under sail
• Blade shape prevents entanglement with debris and marine growth
• Superior reverse thrust due to blade profile and centrifugal-assisted deployment

Saildrive Integration and Safety:

• Flexible hub core for shock absorption and electrical isolation
• Complies with engine manufacturer requirements for saildrives
• Integrated safety system in the hub for enhanced durability and maneuverability
• Compatible with common saildrives including Bukh, Sonic, Volvo-Penta (50S/100S), and Yanmar

Performance Overview:

• Under Sail: Blades fold automatically, reducing drag and boosting speed
• Under Power (Forward): Efficient propulsion with minimized vibration
• Under Power (Reverse): Reverse thrust equal to or better than most 2- and 3-blade folding or fixed propellers

Applications:

• Sailing yachts with DV10LSME saildrives
• Ideal for performance and cruising vessels seeking reduced drag and high efficiency

The Gori 11.5x9.5x2RHS-DV10LSME folding propeller offers outstanding propulsion performance, safety, and reliability in both forward and reverse. Its self-folding design ensures reduced drag under sail, while its robust construction and saildrive compatibility make it a smart investment for modern sailing yachts.
