Gori 16.5x11x3LH Folding Propeller – 3-Blade, Ø16.5", Pitch 11", Left-Hand, for 25 mm ISO Shaft
The Gori Propeller 16.5x11x3LHx1:10W25 is a 3-blade folding propeller designed for 25 mm ISO 1:10 shafts, offering top-tier performance for sailing yachts and motor sailers. Introduced in 1994, it received the DAME and HISWA Awards for its innovation and remains an industry leader.
Key Features
- 3-blade folding design with left-hand rotation
- Diameter: Ø16.5", Pitch: 11"
- Fits 25 mm ISO 1:10 shaft
- Integrated Overdrive function for low-RPM cruising
- Superior thrust in forward and reverse
- Low drag when folded under sail
- Minimal vibration and noise
Overdrive Function
The Overdrive feature enables pitch and profile adjustment during forward motion via the boat's single lever control—without hydraulics or electronics. This allows lower RPM cruising, reducing fuel use, vibration, and noise.
Under Sail Advantages
- Low-drag folded profile increases speed under sail
- Independent tests confirm drag reduction and performance gains
- Prevents entanglement from debris or seaweed
- No need for shaft brake in hydraulic gearboxes
Performance Under Engine
Tests by independent organizations and leading yachting magazines show up to +15% higher efficiency in both forward and reverse compared to flat-blade or rotary propellers. Special blade curvature ensures optimal thrust even in low-power conditions.
Compatibility
- For engines from 7 kW (10 hp) to 221 kW (300 hp)
- Also suitable for vessels exceeding 300 hp
Construction & Quality
Manufactured using Nibral and stainless steel, each propeller is numbered for traceability and future service. With over 25 years of proven performance, Gori remains the go-to choice for yacht builders, designers, and regatta sailors worldwide.
