self feathering maxprop 5 bladed whisper model
LOW DRAG
Under sail the MAX PROP will increase sailing speed
by about 15%, the largest difference being noticed
when sailing in light air. When sailing with a fixed propeller
the vessel has to overcome the fixed blade drag,
installing a MAX PROP maximizes sailing performance.
RELIABILITY
MAX PROP uses a “differential” type design
so all blades open in unison in forward or reverse.
The extraordinary reliability of MAX PROP
has made it an overwhelming choice
for long range cruisers.
GREAT REVERSE
The MAX PROP provides 80% greater reverse power
than a comparable fixed blade propeller.
In reverse the blades rotate 180° in ¾ turn of shaft
giving the MAX PROP the same efficiency in reverse as in forward.
ADJUSTABILITY
The pitch is adjustable on all Max Props.
This allows you to optimize the propeller pitch
to the engine to achieve maximum efficiency.
