WHY CHOOSE KIWIPROPS ?
WEIGHT
2 to 3 times lighter than a propeller than a propeller of the same category in bronze !
VIBRATION LIMITATION
The total rotating mass is reduced and placed as close as possible to the axis of rotation.
EXCEPTIONAL POWER IN REVERSE
The total rotating mass is reduced and placed as close as possible to the axis of rotation.
CORROSION
Total elimination of corrosion problems and electrolysis phenomena thanks to its 316 stainless steel hub and composite blades (Zitel Dupont).
MAINTENANCE
Excellent grip on antifoulling paints to keep the propeller always clean thus offering maximum efficiency throughout the year. Maintenance reduced to one lubrication per year via 5 external orifices. No anode to replace.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
One centra nut and two safety screws. Adjustment of the external pitch with an Allen key.
OPTIMIZED STYLING.
The blades align in the actual flow of water and not in the direction of the propeller shaft as is the case with most feathered propellers. The feathering is automatic from the 100% shutdown of the engine and without any stop procedure to be respected.
REDUCED WEAR AND TEAR
The wear of the hydrolube ring is reduced thanks to the reduced weight of the propeller. No anode to replace.
SIMPLICITY
The alignment of the life of the Sail Drive and the inverters are guaranteed by the low inertia of the Kiwiprop.
RELIABILITY
Easy and low-cost blade replacement in case of propeller damage.
