Vetus P4E18X Bronze Propeller Ø18'' – Four-Blade Type P4E for 35mm Shaft
The Vetus P4E18X is a high-efficiency four-blade bronze propeller designed for semi-planing boats operating at speeds up to 16 knots. It is pre-machined for the Vetus SA35 (35mm) shaft, ensuring precise installation, smooth propulsion, and optimal hydrodynamic performance across varying conditions.
Constructed from robust manganese bronze, the P4E18X offers the ideal balance of strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. Its P4E blade geometry delivers high thrust and stability at both low and cruising speeds, while the four-blade configuration ensures smooth and quiet operation. The propeller’s composition allows for repair if damaged, ensuring long-term reliability and cost-effective maintenance.
