Gori Bronze 3 Blade Folding Propeller

The award winning Gori 3-blade folding propeller for standard shaft sailboats gives a significant speed advantage over fixed blade propellers while sailing without sacrificing thrust when motoring. Gori 3-blade propellers can be fitted to sailboats with engines from 10 to 300 horse power.

Features:

• Overdrive function:
• Allows the helmsman to adjust the propeller pitch and profile while sailing forward, using only the yacht's shift and throttle controls
• The overdrive is used when motoring in fair weather or when using the engine under sail. It gives the same boat speed at lower rpms resulting in less engine noise, less vibration and better fuel economy
• Geared Blades:
• Blades open and close together reducing vibration in forward and reverse
• Blades always close simultaneously under sail
• Less drag than any other well-known 3-blade folding or feathering propeller
• Minimum noise and vibration, which is often a problem for many feathering propellers
• Tests by major yachting magazines have shown the 3-blade Gori folding propeller has greater efficiency in forward (+11%) and reverse (+6,5%) than a feathering propeller
• Prevents seaweed etc. from fouling on the propeller when sailing
