Folding propeller, 3-blade, with overdrive function

Description

The 3-blade Gori folding propeller combines maximum thrust under power with minimal drag under sail. Its pivoting blades work ahead and astern with the same pitch, and the overdrive function reduces engine speed at cruising speed – the same speed with less engine noise, vibration and fuel consumption. Since its launch in 1994 it has won several awards, including the DAME and the HISWA Award in its first year.

Features

• Overdrive selectable via the gear lever – no hydraulics or complicated mechanics
• Same pitch ahead and astern thanks to pivoting blades
• Low drag under sail; seaweed and debris rarely get caught
• Sail-drive versions with rubber element in the hub that dampens load peaks when shifting
• Shaft versions with ISO taper 1:10
• Each propeller is numbered for quality assurance and service
• Right-hand and left-hand versions

Application

For larger sailing yachts and motor sailers with shaft drive or sail-drive that want the thrust of a fixed propeller under power and the low drag of a folding propeller under sail.

Selection guide

Diameter, pitch and direction of rotation (RH/LH) must match engine, gearbox and boat. The sail-drive version SD40/50/60 is intended for the Yanmar sail-drives SD40, SD50 and SD60.
