The new propeller is almost immune to electrolysis, making it an ideal choice for saltwater environments. It offers long-lasting durability, even in the most challenging marine conditions.

Flexofold’s composite propeller stands apart from traditional metal propellers by effectively minimizing the risk of electrical transfer from the saildrive to the blades, enhancing the durability of the propeller and prolonging thelongevity of the saildrive system.
