Variable pitch boat propeller
(4 blades, adjustable) West Mekan
TYPE FR

The Type FR is a fixed adjustable propeller, and is the best choice when you do not know which propeller is the best for your boat, when a suitable fixed propeller is hard to find, or when there are special requirements to the propeller.

The Type FR propeller is easily adjusted to optimum pitch using two wrenches. Adjusting the propeller to optimum pitch ensures a correct load on the motor, while also providing maximum power and fuel efficiency. In addition, the cost of a Type FR propeller is low compared to buying several fixed propellers in order to find the best one for your application. The Type FR propeller has approximately the same efficiency as a fixed propeller, in some cases even exceeding the fixed propeller's efficiency. When adjusted, it is used in the same way as a fixed propeller.

Fixed adjustable propellers are used for all types of boats, and usually have three or four blades. West Mekan calculates and produces these propellers in diameters of up to 1500mm, for speeds up to approximately 40 knots.

Fixed adjustable propellers with more or fewer blades can be specially designed.
