The Foil Drive Three Blade Propeller Upgrade is a propulsion component from Foil Drive, selected by Hydrofoil Academy for riders who want better fit, easier day-to-day use, and a cleaner overall setup.
Propulsion hardware has a direct effect on feel, load, and overall efficiency. This option is best considered as part of how you want the complete Foil Drive setup to respond under power.
Publicly listed details highlight more thrust and low-end torque under load, and propeller and hub compatibility within the Foil Drive system.
Why riders choose it
- Looking for just a little added torque to get out of the water easier?
- Designed to increase low end thrust, the Three Blade Propeller Hub is an optional upgrade for Foil Drive Assist PLUS units, a game changer for riders pushing the limits of rider weight, board size and foil size.
- When compared to the standard Two Blade Propeller system, the NEW Three Blade Propeller system improves performance by: Increased low end thrust.
- added torque at lower RPM, avoiding propeller cavitation under high load.
- It is specifically built for riders who require added low end torque, whether this is due to using a low volume board, a smaller or higher aspect foil than normal, or being a heavier rider.
- We do not recommend using the Three Blade Propeller Hub for prolonged efoiling at full throttle as this will drain your battery much quicker, and could cause the electronics to overheat and enter thermal protection mode.
What's included
- 1x Aluminium Propeller
- 1x Three Blade Hub Install Hardware:
- 3x M3 30mm 2.5mm Standard Propeller Bolts
- 3x M3 30mm 2mm Button Top Propeller Bolts
- 3x M4 10mm Hub Bolts
- 1x 2mm Hex Allen Key
Please note: We do not recommend using the Three Blade Propeller Hub for prolonged efoiling at full throttle as this will drain your battery much quicker, and could cause the electronics to overheat and enter thermal protection mode. Included with Three Blade Propeller Hubs is a range of hardware, with two options of bolts, Standard Propeller Bolts and new Button Top Bolts: 3x M3 30mm 2.5mm Standard Propeller Bolts can be used, these are the same as propeller bolts used on the 2 blade hub. Alternatively, 3x M3 30mm 2mm Button Top Propeller Bolts can be used to improve hydrodynamics, a secondary tool required. As they are not in the flow of water, they do not cause formation of small bubbles that then enter the prop. Not compatible with Foil Drive Assist. While they do fit, these propellers require the higher RMP of the Assist PLUS in order to improve performance.
