Gori 20x16x3RHx1:10W Folding Propeller – 3-Blade, Ø20", Pitch 16", Right-Hand, for 30 mm ISO Shaft
The Gori 20x16x3RHx1:10W30 is an advanced 3-blade folding propeller that redefined marine propulsion upon its introduction in 1994. Honored with the DAME and HISWA Awards, it marked a breakthrough in propeller design for sailing yachts and motor sailers, combining excellent performance under sail with powerful thrust under motor.
Key Specifications
- Diameter: Ø20"
- Pitch: 16"
- Blades: 3-blade, folding
- Rotation: Right-hand
- Shaft Compatibility: 30 mm ISO Shaft (1:10 taper)
- Engine Range: 7 kW to 221 kW (10 hp to 300 hp)
Overdrive Function
The integrated "Overdrive" system allows the helmsman to change pitch and profile during forward motion using a standard single-lever control. This eliminates the need for hydraulic systems and enables quieter, smoother, and more fuel-efficient cruising at lower RPMs.
Performance Under Sail
When folded, the propeller offers the lowest drag among 3-blade folding and rotary models, increasing boat speed under sail. The curved blade profile also helps prevent snagging of seaweed or plastic debris, and eliminates the need for a shaft brake with hydraulic gearboxes.
Thrust and Maneuverability
The wing curvature ensures outstanding thrust in both forward and reverse. Independent tests confirm a +15% increase in efficiency compared to conventional folding or rotary blade propellers, with smoother operation and better maneuverability under engine power.
Quality and Durability
Crafted from high-grade materials like Nibral and stainless steel, each Gori propeller is individually numbered for traceability and future service. Its noise and vibration-minimizing design makes it a preferred choice among yacht designers, builders, and experienced sailors.
