Boat propeller
(3 blades) Vetus

A propeller is possibly the most essential component of a motorboat and very important for sailing boats too. It requires a lot of attention, both by the naval architect and by the propeller manufacturer. "Specialists", who are able to tell you "off the cuff" what type of propeller your boat requires, simply do not exist. VETUS makes good use of an especially developed computer programme, which ensures the determination of the exactly right propeller for your boat with the aid of some (correct) information, which we require from you.
What are the most important demands made upon a propeller?
Balance
If you bear in mind that a propeller is often rotating at 2.000 r.p.m. (which is more than 30 revolutions per second!), you will appreciate that a good propeller should be well-balanced. A difficult and time-consuming job. but an absolute "must" nonetheless.
