STAINLESS STEEL PROPELLER RUBEX NS3-C 11.6X11 RIGHT

Function and technical context

The INOX Rubex NS3-C 11.6X11 propeller is the fundamental propulsion element that transforms the energy of the engine into movement of the boat. Mounted on the tailshaft, this fixed-pitch propeller works in the marine propulsion system, transferring engine torque to the water through its stainless steel blades. Its diameter of 11.6 inches and pitch of 11 inches configure it to optimize the relationship between acceleration and top speed in medium-sized boats. The stainless material guarantees resistance to marine corrosion and durability in saltwater environments, avoiding oxidation and loss of performance that would directly affect maneuverability and fuel consumption.

When to replace this part?

The propeller requires visual inspection at each seasonal commissioning: look for deformations, cracks, erosion of the leading edges and loss of surface gloss. Progressive wear due to cavitation, impacts against submerged objects or friction with sediments reduces propulsive efficiency, causing greater fuel consumption and abnormal vibration in the shaft. It is recommended to replace preventively when a notable loss of performance, vibrations or if the propeller has been impacted is observed; Delaying this intervention increases the risk of damage to the tail bearing and engine due to rotational imbalance.
