Propulse adjustable pitch propellers

For many boaters, Propulse propellers have answered your prayers. Propulse boat props have a unique design which allows a boater to manually change the pitch of the prop so it will perform ideally to your boat. If you use one prop for speed or cruising and a lower pitch for watersports, now you can do it all with just one prop! If you are tired of having to go to the prop shop or buy a new propeller a few times a year because of prop damage, with Propulse you can simply swap out individually damaged blades. Sound like a gimic? Maybe, but it does work. Performance? These four blade props will provide you with great acceleration, handling, stability, cruising speed, and fuel economy!


Adjusting the pitch of the blades


1) Loosen the bolts (7) about four turns with an allen wrench





2) Lift the ring (4) so as to release the locking teeth about 2 mm between the ring and the rear hub section (3)









3) Set the required pitch on the graduated scale (10). This is easiest to do if the propeller is positioned with the ring in the upward position. Then grasp two opposing blades and turn these until the desired pitch has been achieved. The central position represents the pitch stamped on the foot of the blade. The pitch increases by one degree per division on the plus side and reduces by one degree per division of the minus side. Note that all four blades moves synchronized at the same time.



4) Press down on the ring so that the locking teeth inside mesh








5) Retighten the bolts crosswise. Tighten firmly but without excessive force. Never use an extension on the wrench
