Aquafoil 3B & 4B Propellers
A modern style propeller specifically designed for commercial
use. Compare its efficient shape with those old fashioned "clover
leaf" round blade propellers. The "skew back" blade
development of Aqua Foil allows the leading edges to slice
through the water with ease, as the maximum diameter is not in contact until
nearly 70% of the blade width has passed.
The
Aqua Foil
four blade propeller is designed for applications where maximum power and thrust
are required for towing, trawling or pushing. The additional blade ensures
smoother operation and combined with the advantages of the modern design, real
operational savings can be achieved with greater efficiency under all loaded
conditions.
The Aqua Foil three
blade propeller is a general purpose commercial propeller where heavy loadings
are not encountered. This propeller is an engineered product manufactured to
uncompromising standards in design, material, quality and finish…not just made
to a price.
Raked Aquafoil 3B &
4B Propellers
Austral now
produces Aqua Foil propellers with aft rake design. Basically this means the
maximum diameter of the blade at the tip is tilted back just
past the rear face of the propeller hub. This aft rake design normally means a
larger diameter propeller can be fitted because of greater aperture available
toward rear of boat.
