Propeller guide

A PERFECT MATCH
A correct choice of propeller is absolutely vital to get the most out of your engine and boat.
Their performance decides whether the power produced by your engine and drive is turned
into boat performance – or not. And it’s not only size and pitch that matters.

Genuine Volvo Penta propellers are designed for their specific task. The wide range covers
propellers for shaft installations, single-propeller drives, Duoprop drives and saildrives as
well as for the revolutionary IPS.

Production quality is exceptional with minimized tolerances, ensuring high and reliable
performance, year after year. Volvo Penta propellers are perfectly matched to engine
characteristics and drive hydrodynamics. This gives you the best overall efficiency, which
benefits you – and the environment – as you reduce fuel consumption. It also gives your
engine and drive a long service life, as they work with the load they’ve been designed for.

MPS tool
For correct analysis and prediction of boat related information such as propeller options,
top speed, shaft dimensions, etc. Please refer to Volvo Penta Marine Propulsion Software
at “[Link]”. The MPS tool is intended for the Volvo Penta organisation, our boat
builders and dealers. The MPS tool is free to use.
DEVELOPED BY VOLVO PENTA
Developing a new propeller takes over one year of computer calculations to ensure the
props are equally efficient at any speed and under any load. Cavitation tunnel test, real-
life close-up studies of prototypes and boat testing. All this, to determine that the feel is
perfect and what performance they give. We continuously develop the entire package;
engine, drive and propellers.

SUPER-STRENGTH MATERIAL
The different materials used are all super-strength and crafted for propeller
duty. This gives a certain built-in lexibility. The material handles the forces
without bending or breaking.

THE EFFICIENCY
A combination of curving, blade surface and cavitation design. Only when
all these factors are perfect do you get maximum eficiency.

THE BALANCE
Each propeller is perfectly in balance, in weight, size and cavitation.
Essential for secure grip in curves and driving safety.

THE BUSHINGS
Much more than a piece of rubber! Each propeller has its bushing specii-
cally adapted to handle turning and pulling forces. The bushing gets its
inal shape and performance when the correct fastening torque is applied.
Essential for smooth shifting and long drive-train lifetime.
PROPELLER ANATOMY
3 OR 4 BLADES
A 3-blade propeller usually offers top speed performance while a 4-blade
propeller provides maximum thrust and smooth cruising operation.

PITCH
Pitch is the theoretical distance a propeller will move through the water for
each revolution (i.e. a 21” pitch propeller should move a boat forward 21”
for each revolution, assuming there is no slippage).

CUPPED BLADES
Un-Cupped
Cupped
This is a technique used to enhance the performance of propellers under
certain conditions; a cupped propeller will exhibit very high eficiency at
high speeds as well as minimize cavitation under heavy loads.

DIAMETER
Diameter is the distance across a circle encompassing all of the propel-
ler blades. Measure from the centre of the propeller hub to the tip of the
blades and multiply this by two.

RIGHT HAND OR LEFT HAND ROTATION

In most cases, right hand propellers are used for single engine applications
and one right hand and one left hand propellers are used for twin engine
applications to achieve better steering control. Right Left

20°
RAKE
Rake is a special design feature. Positive rake beneits from normal bow
lift to permit the use of a larger diameter propeller, while negative rake can
provide extra blade strength for use in very high speed applications.

0° Rake 20° Rake

W.O.T.
Wide open throttle. With the boat fully loaded the boat should run within
200RPM’s of the maximum rated RPM of the engine.

RPM:
Revolutions per minute . Prop size differences have a big impact on boat
performance. For example:
• If at W.O.T. the RPM is too high, you will need to try a prop with a higher
pitch or higher diameter.
• If at W.O.T. the RPM is too low, you will need to try a prop
with a lower pitch or a lower diameter.
 VOLVO PENTA DUOPROP

VOLVO PENTA DUOPROP

– TECHNOLOGY WITH A GRIP
Nothing bites into the water as efficient as Duoprop. It was introduced by Volvo Penta in
1982 – the biggest event in boating since the Volvo Penta aquamatic drive was introduced.
The principle behind Duoprop is simple: The counter rotating twin propellers eliminate the
lateral forces existing in conventional single propeller stern drives. Consequently the en-
gine’s energy and power is concentrated on driving the boat forward – not sideways. This
results in several benefits for your boating pleasure.

FASTER ACCELERATION, LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION

Duoprop provides up to 30% faster acceleration and produces a top speed 5% faster than any conventional single
propeller system – without increasing fuel consumption. With a partial load, you can expect between 10 and
12 % lower fuel consumption.

FASTER PLANING
A better grip in the water means getting up and onto the plane faster. And staying there at lower revs.

MANOEUVRABILITY IS BETTER TOO

Whether at high speeds, making sharp turns, or when docking in a crowded marina – the grip is there. Duoprop also
reduces the boat’s tendency to roll.

LOWER VIBRATION AND NOISE LEVELS

Duoprop produces lower vibration and noise levels due to the fact that shock pulses are distributed over more
blades. With its counter-rotating propellers, it is almost cavitation free.

The increased blade area of the high speed propeller makes it most suitable for use with high power
engines and at high revs. In a fast boat this does not only mean increased speed, it also means that a
heavily loaded boat will plane more quickly and enjoy better fuel economy. The high speed propeller’s
excellent reversing characteristics also mean faster and safer quayside manoeuvring.

VOLVO PENTA PROPELLERS FOR SAILBOATS

FOLDING PROPELLERS
Volvo Penta’s folding propellers for sail boats combines the
folding propeller’s low drag under sail with reverse thrust and
speed when the engine is used, fully comparable with fixed
propellers. A conical toothed section ensures that the propel-
ler blades are in the correct position. With no complicated
machinery or mechanisms to cause trouble, the propellers
provide superb reliability. The folding propellers are manufac-
tured from a nickel-aluminium-bronze alloy which ensures no
growth and excellent corrosion resistance. It is fitted with a
bushing at the hub, this absorbs the shock which the propel-
ler and shaft are subjected to during quick shifts forwards and
backwards.

The folding propellers are available as Right Hand and Left

Hand rotating propellers for both S-drive and shaft installa-
tions. The folding propeller’s greatest advantage is its low
drag under sail. The folding propellers offer outstanding ma-
noeuvrability. Despite being a folding propeller, reverse thrust
is fully comparable with that of a fixed propeller.

The 3- and 4-blade propellers offer more or less the same

speed as a 3-blade fixed propeller across the full rev range.
The huge benefit shows in an increase in sailing speed of up
to 1.5 knots due to the low drag. Up to 8 times lower drag
compared to a 3-blade fixed propeller. And, what’s more, the
unique blade profile promotes an extremely quiet and vibration
free operation.
