Ringprop protects boaters and marine life
01 Dec 2004
The UK manufacturer's patented design for outboard motors from 9.9 to 250 horsepower is, they say, a cost-effective response to growing concern about the safety and environmental impact of conventional, open-blade propellers.
They say the integral ring around the blades helps protect boaters and marine life with minimal impact on boat performance.
The propeller has been tested on a wide variety of outboards and the company says the hydrodynamic design of the aluminium ring and blades provides increased thrust and reduces torque steer and ventilation, resulting in improved handling and manoeuvrability, while maintaining rapid acceleration and high top speeds.
