3583423 Propeller Blade Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta blade kit for the 3-blade folding propeller for 20-60 hp. Designed for engines from 20 up to 60 hp. At 8 knots a 3-blade fixed propeller produces more than six times the drag of a 3-blade folding propeller. Available in multiple sizes and pitches for both S-drives and shafts, in 19 x 16 in. Volvo Penta folding propellers give minimal drag while sailing combined with the high thrust of a fixed propeller while motoring, even in reverse. The patented design, with protruding blade tips, opens the blades instantly as the propeller starts to turn, and the swept high-skew blade design keeps running smooth and quiet with minimal vibration. Reduced drag under sail increases speed by up to 1.5 knots compared with a fixed propeller.
