Underwater Maintenance – Get To Know About Boat Propellers

For having your boat without any troubles and repairs, you should clean your boat frequently. A boat propeller is a mechanical device with shafts having angled blades fixed in it. During underwater maintenance, propellers need to be checked carefully. A damaged propeller can affect the performance of your boat. If you find any damage, you should call a repair service to get rid of the problems. To enhance the performance of the boat you must use the right propellers.

  1. UNDERWATER MAINTENANCE – GET TO KNOW ABOUT BOAT PROPELLERS

  2. CONTENTS • Introduction • Three Blade and Four Blade Propellers • Five Blade and Six Blade Propellers • Fixed pitch and Controllable Pitch Propeller • Conclusion

  3. INTRODUCTION • To enhance the performance of the boat you must use the right propellers. • A boat propeller is a mechanical device with shafts having angled blades fixed in it. • The change from rotational motion into thrust generates power.

  4. THREE BLADE AND FOUR BLADE PROPELLERS • Three blade propellers are most commonly used and it is made of aluminum. • The propeller and boat engine are connected with the help of this holeshot only. • One of the benefits of four-blade propeller is it can maintain its steadiness at any speed which is not possible in three blade propellers.

  5. FIVE BLADE AND SIX BLADE PROPELLERS • Five blade propellers have better holding power and therefore, this can be the best option for traveling in rough seas. • Manufacturing this type of propeller is costlier than others. • The propeller’s induced pressure field can be reduced in this six-blade propeller.

  6. FIXED PITCH AND CONTROLLABLE PITCH PROPELLER • During the working of the boat, the pitch in the fixed pitch propellers will not change since the blades in it are fixed to the hub permanently. • This type does not require any mechanical or hydraulic connection; therefore, they are robust and reliable in nature. • Not as in fixed pitch propeller, in controllabsle pitch propeller’s pitch can be modified accordingly.

  7. CONCLUSION • For having your boat without any troubles and repairs, you should clean your boat frequently. • During underwater maintenance, propellers need to be checked carefully. • A damaged propeller can affect the performance of your boat.
