This shows how streamlined our propeller is in the feathered position. Because of the shape of the blades and the nature of the gearing inside, the flow of water under the boat will cause the blades to feather when the engine is disengaged.

Our Automatic Feathering Propeller is best suited for the cruising sailor who wants a dependable propeller under power and who would enjoy an extra knot and a half under sail.

The helical twist to our blades gives us true pitch, making our propeller more efficient under power than a flat bladed feathering prop and because of the twist, ours  is incredibly effective in reverse.

We’ve been making and servicing these since 1960.  Each automatic feathering propeller is custom crafted from an aluminum bronze alloy in East Boothbay, Maine.  The blades and hub feature robust gears for rugged dependability.  And should there be any questions or concerns, we’ve been at the same phone number for more than 75 years.

Ensuring the correct prop size and pitch requires accurate information including waterline length, horsepower rating and reduction ratio.  To help you identify the right prop for your boat call 207.633.4971 or complete the form below:
