We have recently proceeded to change the propeller Shipyard Beneteau Oceanis a 51.1 by Gori propeller 3 folding shovels. this boat, in a few days sail to cross the Atlantic Ocean to United States, during sailing will bring 1 knot speed over offering less resistance to the water, also, You see increased performance when browsing the motor to gain more speed at lower revs. This eventually will save fuel and reduced wear of the components of said engine.

Function "Overdrive"

The "Overdrive" function, (propellers two-step), add a new dimension to motor boating. The employer can choose the propeller pitch depending on the type of navigation forward gear, adjusting the position and the revolutions of the engine without hydraulics, or complicated devices.

The "Overdrive" function can be used in good weather or surfing sail and motor together.

The "Overdrive" function through increasing the angle of attack provides the same speed at lower revolutions. The result is a quieter engine, less vibration and better fuel economy.

Operation is simple. Changing forward to "Overdrive" is performed by placing the controls of the motor position back, until the boat surfs Reverse. Once the boat and sail reversing will place the command of the motor in forward position.

Overdrive change to the normal forward gear is accomplished by the deadlock, allowing the propeller to fold and then returning to forward gear.

The "Overdrive" function and the particularity to turn back to the blades to maneuver, this propeller differ from all others.
