E3 (E-cubed) is a propeller that features innovative technical solutions in its shell, which are combined with the use of materials and treatments so far only applied in advanced technology fields. These innovations guarantee an absolutely superior resistance to mechanical shocks and galvanic corrosion, by no means comparable to the performances of common feathering, folding or solid blade propellers.
Thorough studies and tests have been carried out over several years for the development of the project, allowing to obtain an extremely reliable product in a particularly slim body.
All this guarantees a long endurance propeller with a wide range of applications, making E3 suitable for all race and cruise sailing boats.
The adopted solutions are in line with the latest sailing trends, always oriented towards innovative materials and technologies capable of exalting modern boats’ performances.
The feathering 3 blades propeller E3 (E-cubed) is available either for shaft-drive and S-Drive.
E3 is built completely with high-strength and high corrosion resistance stainless steels and has a micrometric pitch-setting device allowing to set the most appropriate pitch from the outside.
E3 doesn't require disassemblage of its parts in order to be installed or removed and doesn't require any hub puller, therefore it can be installed in few minutes easily even underwater.
The user will experience the same advantages as a Classic max-prop, low drag superior forward propulsion and unsurpassed reverse power. Adaptable to all the Sail- Drive units.
An innovative new propeller for sailing yachts ...
The Kiwiprop™ is a unique cost effective feathering propeller that eliminates gears, aligns the blades with the streamlines not the shaft, minimises corrosion potential from the lightweight composite blades and offers users easy variable pitch adjustment. In the Kiwiprop™ the individual blades are always free to "weather vane" in the actual water flow, to a minimum drag position so don't cause autorotation.
This modern light weight three bladed feathering propeller has proved much smoother and quieter in operation than equivalent two bladed units and offers the additional benefits of variable pitch, fully lubricated, minimal corrosion potential and the full reverse thrust.
With the world wide acceptance and use of sail drive units, Max-Prop has succesfully developed and consolidated since many years, a three blade propeller for this type of application.
The three blade classic Max-Prop sail drive propeller is extremely compact and dynamic, with a spinner of reduced dimensions, when placed in a feathering position offers an extremely derisive drag.
