- Mounting: Saildrive
- Engine Range: 7 kW (10 hp) to 221 kW (300 hp)
Overdrive Function
The Overdrive feature allows easy adjustment of pitch and blade profile during forward motion using the boat's single lever shift. This improves fuel economy, reduces noise and vibration, and avoids the need for complex hydraulic systems.
Sailing Performance
When folded, the low-profile blade design greatly reduces drag, resulting in increased boat speed under sail. The propeller's shape keeps it securely closed while sailing and prevents fouling from seaweed or debris.
Engine Efficiency
Tests by independent organizations confirm a +15% increase in efficiency in both advance and reverse thrust compared to conventional designs. The unique blade curvature ensures optimal thrust under a wide range of operating conditions.
Saildrive Compatibility
This model features a flexible hub that isolates the saildrive from the propeller electrically and mechanically, improving durability and maneuverability. It is compatible with saildrives from brands like Bukh, Sonic, Volvo Penta, Yanmar, and more.
Professional Quality
Gori Propeller has led the folding propeller market for over 25 years. Each propeller is manufactured to the highest standards and individually numbered for quality assurance and service traceability.
