SIMPLY THE FINEST AUTOMATIC FEATHERING SAILING PROPELLER IN THE WORLD!
Unique Features of VARIPROP XLS
Independently adjustable external pitch control (patented). Forward and Reverse pitches can be changed in just seconds even underwater. (available for DF160, DF180, DF190, DF210, DF230 and DF260)
Benefits: Custom fine tuning of reverse thrust vs. prop-walk
VARIPROP allows you to customize that balance for optimum control, maneuverability and safety Independent fine tuning of forward thrust means that VARIPROP delivers the best possible performance (speed, thrust, fuel economy) in forward without compromising reverse performance… and vice versa
Integrated shock absorber (patented) built into the VARIPROP hub Benefits: Dramatically reduces shock loads on gearbox and drivetrain, permits shifting at higher speeds without damage, preserves preset pitches by eliminating hard limit stop impacts (the typical “clunks” of all others) The entire drive train benefi ts: longer cutless bearing life, minimized wear on gearbox, clutch plate, bearings
German precision engineering, robustness and long life
Benefits: All XLS-VARIPROP are sealed to avoid loss of grease from the housing during operation. This ensures long life of the mechanical parts andalso substantially extends service intervals.
Made following the ISO 9001 quality standard
Custom made propeller vs. mass-produced competitors every VARIPROP is built to order-consistently 100% up to stringent specifications for reliable, smooth and efficient operation
Gears are 35% - 50% larger and stronger than competing props for substantially improved service life.
Comes fully assembled
Benefits: VARIPROP mounts on your shaft just like a solid propeller. No disassembly.
