MARTEC Geared Folding Propeller
Enhance your sailing performance with the Slipstream 2 & 3 blade stainless steel geared folding propeller, specifically designed to reduce drag significantly. When you're sailing, its blades fold back seamlessly, creating a streamlined profile that can boost your boat's sailing speed from 1/2 knot - a full knot. When you need power, the propeller opens instantly, delivering more thrust than you get from a fixed-blade propeller.
Its stainless-steel construction provides far greater strength and durability than any bronze folding propeller. This is particularly advantageous for eliminating the premature gear tooth wear that bronze geared folding propellers are so susceptible to. The propeller also offers replaceable side wear pads, Pivot pin blade bushings, as well as, a bump stop in order to enhance the propeller’s longevity.

MARTEC Feathering Propeller
Maintain control and minimal drag with the Autostream 3-blade Stainless Steel feathering propeller. This innovative design allows the blades to align with the water flow while sailing, effectively reducing drag and maximizing speed. When motoring, the blades adjust to provide powerful and efficient propulsion in forward equaling or improving powering performance over a fixed bladed propeller. In reverse a feathering prop can dramatically improve stopping power as well as, reduces prop walk if not eliminate it. This feature significantly enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, such as marinas and anchorages, making maneuvering easier and safer.
This propeller has greater longevity and durability due to its stainless-steel construction. We have delrun bearings at all ware points, so there is no metal to metal ware, which have 10+ years of service life. It also has a few other great features, such as external pitch adjusting (for independent forward and reverse), it has a zerk fitting on the end of the propeller to provide easy in the water greasing, as well as, a single nut zinc attachment for easy replacement. This propeller has a 5-year warranty which is better than any other propeller on the market.
