Volvo Penta Folding Propellers
Volvo Penta folding Nibral propellers for sailboat saildrive and shaft installations, available in 2, 3 and 4 blades.
Description
Volvo Penta folding propellers for sailboats combine the low drag of a folding propeller under sail with reverse thrust and speed comparable to fixed propellers when the engine is used. A conical toothed section holds the blades in the correct position.
