RingProp launches at MAATS

Gosport-based RingProp plc is to launch its ringed propeller to the US market at the Marine Aftermarket Accessories Trade Show (MAATS) in Las Vegas July 8-11.

The patented design for outboard motors from 9.9 to 250hp is a response to growing concern about the safety and environmental impact of conventional, openblade propellers.

The integral ring around the blades protects boaters and marine life with minimal impact on boat performance, according to RingProp plc.

The company says the propeller has been exhausti-vely tested on a variety of the most popular outboard engine models.

They say 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.
