August 2003 - OLDS introduces revolutionary Propeller
Often, new boat owners find that their engine's performance has
not been optimized prior to delivery. And for many, the boating
experience includes a variety of activities such as cruising,
waterskiing or even towing another craft. For each situation the
ProPulse propeller gives the boat owner the ability to easily optimize
speed, handling and engine performance and more.
The ProPulse has an adjustable pitch feature that allows the operator
to optimize engine performance and improve boat speed and handling in
just a few minutes. Its four blades can be set at different positions,
increasing or decreasing engine output rpm.
Also, the ProPulse's blades are replaceable. An afternoon on the water
can be ruined if a blade becomes damaged or broken. If this occurs
with a ProPulse propeller, the blade can be replaced on the spot, at
less cost than a repair. Also, the challenge of finding room to store
an expensive spare prop is eliminated with the addition of one or two
extra blades stored onboard.
The ProPulse is constructed of composites and carbon fibre materials
that make it stronger and lighter than aluminium. Currently, there are
nine ProPulse propeller models designed to fit a large variety of
outboard and stern drive engines up to 300 hp, and each model carries
a 3-year guarantee on the hub. For more information visit our
