J-Prop Saildrive Feathering Propeller

Design Features

Helical Gears

J-Prop uses only helical (or continuously engaged) gears, resulting in two distinct advantages:

1. 1. The blades of the propeller will have identical pitch at all times.
   2. Helical gears have a large contact area producing more strength and less wear.

Materials

J-Props components are made from a variety of stainless steel and aluminum-bronze alloys. Each alloy is designed to suit the specific properties of the application. For instance, the pitch gear, blades, housing and tail-cone are all made from different alloys resulting in less wear between the parts. The combination of stainless steel and aluminum-bronze components also enhance lubrication and minimize corrosion.

Elliptical Blade

In the feathered position, J-Prop reduces drag under sail. The blade design provides equal thrust in reverse and forward.

Pitch Adjustment

Differentially Geared Pitch Adjustment

The pitch setting is determined by the amount of rotation the planetary gears are allowed by the internal stop in the adjustable tail-cone. As the shaft and the drive gear rotate clockwise, the planetary gears rotate the blades. The pitch gear rotates counter- clockwise in this differential system. The housing remains stationary until the blades and pitch gear have rotated to the internal stop and therefore the pitch setting.

Put the propeller’s blade in feathering position.

Pull the ogival nose.

Turn the ogival nose towards the «R» or «L» side depending on the type of engine (rightway or leftway) and reach the notch of the desired pitch.

Release the ogival nose. Make sure that the reference. Line «0» matches the desire notch. Make sure that the ogival nose backs itself firmly against the props body.
