Gori 15x12x3LHS Folding Propeller – 3-Blade, Ø15", Pitch 12", Left-Hand, for SD40–60 Sail Drive with Overdrive Function
The Gori 15x12x3LHS-SD40-60 is a high-performance 3-blade folding propeller designed for SD40–60 sail drives. Introduced in 1994, it received the DAME and HISWA Awards for innovation in marine propulsion, offering unmatched efficiency under sail and powerful thrust under motor.
Key Features
- 3-blade folding design for minimal drag under sail
- Overdrive function for reduced RPMs during motoring
- Enhanced maneuverability and thrust in both forward and reverse
- Electrically isolated hub with shock absorption for sail drive units
- Individually numbered for quality assurance and traceability
Specifications
- Diameter: Ø15"
- Pitch: 12"
- Blades: 3
- Rotation: Left-Hand (LH)
- Shaft Type: SD40–60 Sail Drive
- Material: Nibral and stainless steel
Overdrive Function
The innovative Overdrive function allows pitch and profile change while underway. Activated via the reverse gear, it enables the same speed at lower RPMs, reducing fuel use, vibration, and engine noise. Switching between modes is simple and mechanical, without hydraulics or electronics.
Performance and Efficiency
- +15% more thrust in forward and reverse vs. conventional folding props
- Low-profile folding blades reduce drag and increase boat speed under sail
- Blade shape prevents entanglement from ropes or debris
Compatibility
Suitable for engines from 10 hp to over 300 hp. Designed for major sail drive brands including Volvo Penta, Yanmar, Sonic, Bukh, and more.
Professional Grade
With over 25 years of innovation, Gori Propeller remains the top choice for yacht builders, designers, and regatta sailors. Built to exacting standards with premium materials, every propeller is serial-numbered for service and quality tracking.
