Vetus Propellers A propeller is possibly the most essential component of a motorboat and very important for sailing boats too. It requires a lot of attention, both by the naval architect and by the propeller manufacturer. |  |
|
 | VETUS has large permanent stocks of type P3B, P3C and P4E propellers, with standard shaft holes and keyway sizes as indicated in the table below. Propellers of different types and dimensions are available to special order, with a delivery time of 12 to 14 weeks.
TAPERING OF THE PROPELLER SHAFT
All propellers in stock at VETUS have the standard taper 1:10. This means that the difference between the largest and the smallest diameter of the tapered hole represents 10% of the length of the propeller’s boss (D-d=0.1xL). If required, Vetus can machine the boss to a taper of 1:12,
1:16, etc. It takes a few days extra delivery time plus a small surcharge.
