Gori 3 Blade Folding Propeller 16,5x10x3LHx1:10W25 for 25 mm ISO Shaft

Gori Propeller 16.5x10x3LHx1:10W25 - Folding Propeller 16.5x10x3LH for 25mm ISO shaft

The 3-blade Gori folding propeller was introduced in 1994 and received prestigious awards like the DAME Award and HISWA Award for the best new marine product in the same year.

This propeller represents a significant technological and functional advancement in the realm of propellers for sailing yachts. Larger sailing yachts and motor sailers can now benefit from the speed advantages of the folding propeller under sail, combined with the thrust of the fixed propeller under motor.

The wing curvature of the 3-blade Gori folding propeller provides excellent thrust in both forward and backward directions, offering superior power and maneuvering properties compared to most other propellers.

'Overdrive' function
The "Overdrive" function allows for a new dimension in motorized driving. The helmsman can adjust the pitch and profile of the propeller while moving forward, controlled via the boat's single lever shift without the need for delicate hydraulics or complicated mechanics.

The "overdrive" is useful under power in calm weather or when powering under sail, providing the same speed at lower revs, resulting in less engine noise, reduced vibration, and lower fuel consumption.

Suitable for engines from 7kW (10hp) - 221kW (300hp)
The Gori 3-bladed folding propeller is now available for engines over 300 hp, offering special advantages for large sailing yachts and motor sailers. The unique design minimizes noise and vibration, common issues with rotary blade propellers with flat blades.

The Gori folding propeller comes in diameters ranging from 15” to 30” for standard shafting and 15” to 20” for saildrive configurations.

Advantage under sail
The low profile when folded ensures the lowest drag among 3-blade folding and rotary blade propellers, resulting in increased boat speed under sail. The shape prevents seaweed and debris from getting caught and the propeller from opening when sailing.

Performance under engine
Tests by leading yachting magazines show that the Gori folding propeller has significantly higher efficiency in advance (+15%) and reverse (+15%) compared to other propellers, thanks to its special curvature and rotation of blades.

Professional Quality
Gori Propeller has been a leader in folding propeller design for over 25 years, using high-quality materials like Nibral and stainless steel. The 3-bladed Gori folding propeller maintains the technical lead in this area, favored by leading designers, yacht builders, and regatta sailors.

All Gori propellers are numbered for quality assurance and future service.
