The latest propeller in the Seahawk line up, first released as a a two-blade model July 2003, the Slipstream range of Geared Folding Sailboat Propellers. This range was designed using many years of collective experience to achieve three main goals:

1. Outperform competing brands
2. Provide a long service life, while being user serviceable without specialist skills.
3. Develop an enhanced product at a comparable price.

• Geared design keeps blades synchronized, allowing the blades to fold back properly regardless of the propeller position, even at low speeds - No crawling into the bilge to position the shaft when racing
• Sizes from 14" to 20" diameter
• All Stainless Steel construction for superior life using low carbon 316L grade stainless steel. Being a similar metal as most prop shafts it is less likely to promote electrolysis, the most common cause of prop failure.
• Large Blade area for excellent thrust, with unique blade geometry resulting in a smoother and more reliable opening of the blades, particularly when shifting into reverse, whilst travelling forward.
• Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene thrust plates* on either side of the blades prevent metal-to-metal wear of blade on body.
• Blades pivot on replaceable Nibral bushes*, these can be easily pressed out and replaced, compared to the traditional over sizing or welding/redrilling
• Easily replaced Polyurethane ‘Bump-Stop Pads’* reduce the ‘clunk’ of the blades hitting the stop faces when shifting into forward, plus eliminates the wear on the back of the blades and the body
• Blade pivot pins* are double screwed* at BOTH ends for increased security of blades
• All wear components are user-serviceable, "self-service" kits are available for when the time comes to refurbish the propeller (items with * are included in the kit)
• Available to suit shafts from 1" to 1½"
• Five-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects

Each propeller is supplied with:

• Comprehensive instructions
• Hex key for pivot pin and locking screws
• Two types of Loctite to secure all screws and nuts
• Spare polyurethane bump stop pad
• Stainless steel shaft nut and key
