Volvo Penta 3 Blade Folding Propeller 17 X 12

Folding NiBral Propeller for Volvo Penta and Yanmar Saildrives (17 x 12)

The Volvo Penta 3-blade folding NiBrAl propeller is designed specifically for sailboats seeking maximum efficiency under both power and sail. Constructed from durable nickel-bronze-aluminum (NiBrAl) alloy, it delivers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in saltwater environments.

Under sail, the blades automatically fold to significantly reduce drag, improving sailing speed and overall performance. When shifted into gear, centrifugal force opens the blades to provide smooth, powerful thrust with improved reverse handling compared to traditional 2-blade designs.

Ideal for Volvo Penta and Yanmar saildrives and select shaft applications, this propeller offers a balanced combination of performance, durability, and reduced underwater resistance.
