LEXOR MULTI-E PROPELLER 14.80X23 LEFT

Function and technical context

The Multi-e Lexor 14.80×23 left-hand turning propeller is the direct propulsion element for medium and high-power Yamaha engines, transforming the rotational energy of the shaft into hydrostatic thrust to move the boat. Installed on the tail shaft of the engine, it works in direct contact with the aquatic environment, where its blades are subjected to constant hydrodynamic forces and load changes during navigation. Its 14.80-inch diameter, 23-inch pitch geometry, along with its inverted rotation, ensures efficient traction on boats with counter-rotating or left-turning engine configurations. Progressive wear of the blades or a loss of alignment causes perceptible vibrations, reduction in maximum speed and abnormal fuel consumption.

When to replace this part?

Propellers degrade due to cavitation, erosion, and accidental contact with submerged objects; It is common to observe loss of propulsive efficiency, vibrations in the axle and atypical noises while driving. It is recommended to visually inspect the condition of the blades at least once a year or after any impact during navigation, and replace them preventively if cracks, deformations or chips are detected. Timely replacement prevents overloading of the transmission and reduces the risk of costly breakdowns at sea.
