Gori 15x9x3LH Folding Propeller – 3-Blade, Ø15", Pitch 9", Left-Hand, for 25 mm ISO Shaft with Overdrive Function
The Gori 15x9x3LH folding propeller, launched in 1994 and awarded the DAME and HISWA Awards, is a highly efficient 3-blade marine propeller for 25 mm ISO shafts. Ideal for both sailing yachts and motor sailers, it merges performance under sail with superior thrust under engine power.
Key Features
- 3-blade folding design for minimal drag under sail
- Overdrive function enables pitch change while underway
- Superior forward and reverse thrust
- Minimized noise, vibration, and fuel consumption
- Constructed from high-grade Nibral and stainless steel
Specifications
- Diameter: Ø15"
- Pitch: 9"
- Blades: 3
- Rotation: Left-Hand (LH)
- Shaft Compatibility: 25 mm ISO Shaft
- Engine Power Range: 10 hp to 300+ hp (7–221 kW+)
Overdrive Function
The Overdrive feature allows dynamic pitch and profile adjustment during forward motion. Operated via the single lever shift, this function reduces engine RPM while maintaining speed, lowering vibration, noise, and fuel use — all without hydraulic systems.
Advantages Under Sail
When folded, the propeller's low-profile design significantly reduces drag, increasing boat speed. It prevents fouling from debris and eliminates the need for a shaft brake when paired with hydraulic gearboxes.
Engine Performance
Independent testing confirms up to +15% improved efficiency in both advance and reverse, outperforming typical folding and rotary propellers thanks to its advanced blade curvature and rotation mechanics.
Professional Grade
Backed by 25+ years of design leadership, Gori propellers are trusted by yacht builders, designers, and competitive sailors worldwide. Each propeller is serial-numbered for quality assurance and service traceability.
