Corrosion-Stopper, 10 g tube (in ziplock bag)Tef-Gel® is a waterproof, PTFE-based paste that can be used universally. It prevents the blossoming of metal and reliably protects against corrosion between aluminum and stainless steel as well as bronze metals. It can also be used as a seawater-resistant lubricant and as a sealant to stop water ingress. Always install your screws and bolts with Tef-Gel® and everything will be easy to undo, even after intensive use in seawater. The same applies to shroud tensioners. Tef-Gel® is not dangerous to health and has no hazard labels. It is also eco-friendly. The product can be stored for a period of more than 10 years. Note: Please note that due to shipping restrictions for liquids, this product can´t be shipped outside Germany.
Bumpers for VARIFOLD 2-blade folding propellers minimize the shock when opening the blades.
The hard-wearing rubber or plastic buffers fit securely in the special cut-outs in the saildrive hub.
This ensures that the propeller opens smoothly without the buffers coming loose. Please select the correct buffer size according to your propeller type and the year of manufacture. 1 SET = 2 items VF-70 <2010 Polyrethane (rubber) buffers for the Varifold 2-blade folding propeller from SPW for hub version up to year of manufacture 2010. Black, round 16mm x 8mm VF-70 >2011 Buffer for the Varifold 2-blade folding propeller from SPW for hub version from model year 2011. White, round 16mm x 5mm with pin
Buffer for VARIFOLD 3- and 4-blade folding propellers minimize the shock when opening the blades. The hard-wearing rubber or plastic buffers fit securely in the special cut-outs in the saildrive hub.
This ensures that the propeller starts up smoothly without the buffers coming loose. Please select the correct buffer size according to your propeller type and the year of manufacture.
VF-108 <2011
Polyrethane (rubber) buffers for the Varifold 3-blade folding propeller by SPW for the hub-version up to the year of manufacture 2012.
Black, round 20mm x 5mm
VF-108 >2012
Buffers for the Varifold folding propeller 3- und 4-blade (VF-108 & VF-120) for the hub-version, year of manufacture 2013 and later; you need 3 or 4 buffers.
White, round 24/19mm x 10mm with pin
Replacement anode holder for VARIFOLD folding propeller VF-108. This is required to fix the zinc anode; included with the purchase of a new VARIFOLD propeller.
Puller for the Varifold folding propeller, available for 2- and 3-blade propellers. The puller helps you to easily remove a stuck propeller from the shaft. Please select a propeller type when ordering.
For cruising and regatta sailingA folding propeller is suitable for almost all sailing boats that have an internal engine. You will therefore come across propellers that are used all over the world by professional as well as freetime sailors.When the engine is switched on and the propeller is turning, the blades unfold due to centrifugal force. This also applies at very low speeds and even in reverse, as the centrifugal force is always stronger than the water current.In the passive state, the propeller does not rotate and is therefore not influenced by the centrifugal force. Instead, the blades fold together due to the water pressure. This creates less resistance, so that you can sail even in low winds. the folding propellers therefore fold up due to the natural centrifugal force when the boat`s engine is running.However, the Flexofold folding propeller is not only effective when the engine is running, but also when the blades are pushed back by the water current.The benefits of the Flex-o-Fold:Very low drag resistance - high thrust for motor driveGood manoeuvrability - outstanding forward, stop and reverse performanceIntegrated shock absorbers minimise impact when opening the bladesSmooth-running gears and robust materials - long service life without the need for lubrication, rebuilding or other maintenance workHelical gears between the blades ensure synchronised folding mechanismFastening screws are pre-coated with Loctite - can be mounted both above and below waterWater-lubricated - no maintenance requiredAvailable for shaft system and saildrive2-blade Flex-o-Fold Folding propellerPropeller diameter: 13" - 18", 330mm - 457mmFor shaft-ø 25-30mm or saildrive
