This range of propellers was designed due to the increasing number of high powered diesels being fitted in fishing vessels and workboats in recent years. The extra blade area makes it ideal for installations where propeller tip clearance is limited. The HYDRASTAR 5.75 is particularly adapted for fishing boats because it guarantees smooth, vibration free performance.
The HYDRASTAR 5.75 is manufactured from high tensile manganese bronze as standard but it also available in aluminium bronze.
