Flexofold Propellers 18" X 2 Blade Composite

Flexofold Propellers | Volvo and Yanmar Saildrives

Taking advantage of modern composite materials, the Flexofold Composite propeller is not only immune to electrolysis, it also features a protective torsional hub, low weight and high strength – all combined in an attractive design. The Flexofold Composite propeller still provides the recognized low drag, higher speed and good performance under sail, as well as high thrust and strong maneuverability under power.

Immune to electrolysis:

A common issue for sailboat owners is electrolysis – coursed by electrical errors in the sailboat or shore power.

Today’s use of electrical equipment on sailboats increases the risk of wrong installations. Even if all installations are OK, docking in a marina with defective shore power can cause severe damage. This, as stray current easily damages the propeller – normally being the part with the best electrical connection into the water.

Our determination solving this matter has now resulted in the development of a new generation of folding propellers – the 2-blade Flexofold Composite!

Propeller sizes:

The 2-blade Composite propeller for saildrive is available in diameters of 14" to 18" - all in a wide range of pitches.

Available for both LEFT and RIGHT turning saildrives (saildrives are generally LEFT turning, however, catamarans might use counter rotating propeller on one side).

Compatible with:

The Flexofold propellers has a 100% fit on all common saildrives from Yanmar, Volvo Penta, Lombardini, Technodrive and Torqeedo Deep Blue.

To be fitted on Selva saildrives when using an adapter.
