Max-Prop BOOMERANGThe Ideal Propeller for Hydraulic Transmissions

The Max-Prop Boomerang has been revolutionising the sailing industry, catering specifically to boats equipped with hydraulic transmissions. With its groundbreaking design, the Boomerang provides instant and automatic feathering capabilities, eliminating the need for shaft brakes. This innovative solution is rapidly becoming the top choice among catamaran and monohull manufacturers worldwide.

A Forward-Thinking Design
The advent of modern marine transmissions has brought unique challenges for propeller manufacturers. Hydraulic inverters and electronic gearboxes often lack the friction necessary to slow the shaft. The Boomerang tackles this issue head-on with its patented radial spring mechanism, embedded seamlessly into the propeller body. This state-of-the-art design ensures the propeller feathers effortlessly when the engine stops or torque is no longer applied, simplifying operations for sailors of all levels.

How the Max-Prop Boomerang Works
At the heart of the Boomerang is an innovative radial spring system. This spring ensures the blades return to a feathered position automatically, regardless of shaft speed or boat conditions. As soon as the engine ceases to deliver power, the mechanism activates, making the Boomerang a low-maintenance, high-efficiency propeller solution.
