Safety First On a folding propeller the blades do not stick out while sailing as they do on fixed and feathering propellers. You won’t catch lobster or crab pots, fishing lines or debris in the water, a “catch” which ultimately may result in loss of steering ability or ultimately an accident. Maneuver the Docks Like You Would the Sea Due it's powerful shape and hydrodynamic design, the FlexOfold propellers have superior forward, stopping, and reversing power. One test showed that a 63 foot Hanse went from 8 knots ahead to dead-in-the-water in one boat length! Whoever said a folding propeller can’t back up, hasn't tried a FlexOfold! Low Drag - High Speed A folding propeller eliminates almost all of the drag from a fixed propeller and improves your sailing performance by 15% on average equipping your boat with a FlexOfold will not only increase it's performance more than any other addition, it will also make your voyages even more enjoyable than they were before. You can sail faster than the guy who used to pass you, and in lighter wind than ever before. Enjoy your sailboat at a higher speed - enjoy your sailboat with a FlexOfold. Less Noise - More Comfort The weather is perfect, the wind is optimal and the sails are set. An ideal situation like this becomes harder to enjoy when all you can hear is the noise from a fixed propeller. With a FlexOfold propeller, the noise will be as low as the drag is. Unlike other propeller brands, FlexOfold has made sure to include strong, built-in shock absorbers for quiet opening. Get Your Money's Worth On a FlexOfold propeller, the only moving parts are the blades and the hub. Smooth acting gears and strong materials secure long durability without the need of messy greasing, rebuilding or any other maintenance your boat may require. The only maintenance required for a FlexOfold propeller is cleaning and replacing of the anode. Get a FlexOfold propeller and spend your time sailing instead of fixing your boat, and enjoy the benefits for many years to come. Fitment and sizing checklist FlexOfold 3-Blade Saildrive Propeller - Folding Prop is a configured folding propeller page. Use the displayed diameter options as the starting point, then confirm pitch and final configuration from your boat data before ordering. Field What to verify Propeller family 3-Blade FlexOfold folding propeller Mounting family Saildrive Listed diameter options Use the visible size options on this page, then confirm pitch by quote. Pitch Confirmed during quote. The page options use "various pitches" because pitch depends on engine, gearbox or saildrive ratio, hull, and current RPM performance. Boat data needed Boat model, displacement, engine make and horsepower, maximum rated RPM, gearbox or saildrive model and ratio, shaft diameter or spline, current prop diameter/pitch, and whether the current prop reaches rated RPM under load. Service parts Use FlexOfold propeller parts after matching blade count, shaft/saildrive family, and part number. Current selectable options Current page option Visible values Title Default Title FlexOfold propeller FAQ Can I choose by boat length alone? No. Boat length is only a rough clue. Engine output, reduction ratio, hull shape, displacement, aperture clearance, and current RPM under load are what make the propeller fit correctly. Why is pitch not listed as a simple dropdown? Pitch is part of the configured quote. A propeller with the right diameter but wrong pitch can overload the engine or fail to use the available power. What should I send if I am not sure? Send the boat and engine data above plus photos of the existing propeller, shaft or saildrive, and any markings on the hub. That is enough to avoid most sizing mistakes.
