Two Blade Folding Props
2-blade Gori folding
propeller
The 2-blade Gori folding propeller is for sailing yachts fitted with
engines up to approximately 60 HP (44 KW). It is available in 7 diameters
from 11.5" to 18" for shaft installation and Sail-drive. RH and
LH rotation.
Geared blades
The geared blade design ensures blades open and close together giving less
vibration ahead and astern. Under sail blades close simultaneously
removing the need for elastic bands.
Full power ahead
Tests have shown that the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori propeller in
forward is better than most 2- and 3- blade feathering and folding
propellers.
Full power reverse
Tests have shown that the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori propeller in
reverse is equal to or better than most 2- or 3-bladed fixed, feathering
and folding propellers. The Gori propeller gives you the optimum thrust in
reverse by virtue of its propeller blade shape and profile, and does not
rely solely on the centrifugal force to open the blades as do many other
folding propeller types.
Sail-drive
The hub of the Sail-drive propeller is manufactured with a flexible
bushing that absorbs shock and electrically insulates the propeller from
the Sail-drive leg, as required by the engine manufacturers. The propeller
fits most Sail-drives, for example: Bukh, Sonic, Volvo Penta incl.
50S-drive and 100S-drive, Yanmar and others. |
