VARIPROP 4-blade feathering propeller

Product information "VARIPROP 4-blade feathering propeller "
For cruising and high-sailing boats with an output of over 100 kW 
Sailing without brakes - when the engine is switched off, the blades automatically turn to the sailing position due to the water current. This results in minimal drag and, depending on wind conditions, 15% to 20% higher speed. No propeller turbulence! 
When switching to reverse, a short turn of the shaft turns the leading edge of the blades by 180° and has a higher efficiency than all fixed pitch propellers - in reverse as well as in forward.
Advantages of a VARIPROP rotary blade propeller: 
  • Lowest drag 
  • Very robust with strong gearing 
  • SoftStopTM shock absorber 
  • External variable pitch adjustment 
  • Shortest hub - ideal for small wells 
  • Each Variprop is manufactured to measure 
  • Dynamically machine balanced - smoother, quieter movement and absolutely vibration-free 
  • Simple installation like a fixed pitch propeller on the shaft 
  • Made in Germany from high-strength Nibral bronze - extremely durable 
  • DNV-GL type approval 
  • Final certification by three-dimensional measuring instrument (MRI) with test certificate 
  • Available for shaft system and saildrive (up to GP-128)
GP as in Grand Performance: Or as in Gawn Profile - the GP series is a further development of the previous world-renowned VARIPROP types and is designed for maximum performance.

Rope cutter
The SPW rope cutter is a great help in saving lives and ships. The rotation of the propeller draws loose obstacles floating in the water, such as ropes, nets, plastic and seagrass, directly into the cutting edges of the rope cutter and then cuts them immediately. This happens before the obstacles damage the drive and/or the engine and therefore render the ship unable to maneuver. The load on the drive is minimal and is so effective that you hardly feel it. The SPW rope cutters are attached around the shaft with two halves of the propeller guard; no need to remove the propeller. The rope cutter ... is quick and easy to fit ... offers an effective design for cutting ropes, nets & seagrass, among other things ... results in low maintenance costs; only inspection during the yearly "check-up" when the ship comes out of the water. The SPW rope cutter (2-part) is available for shaft diameters of 25, 30 and 35 mm. Please select according to the shaft diameter.
