Henleys Propellers supplied two - 24" 4
blade tiger propellers to Shcioning Marine. Trial result was successful
as shown below in a testimonial written by Rob Shenn.
Launch went well yesterday, we had the
Coastguard vessel next to us and they were going about 1 knot faster at
28 knots, then our engineer advised a short burst at wide open throttle.
Although the electronics had not been commissioned, we estimate approx
28-29 knots. The square planing board at the stern was actually on top
of the water due to our very light load. There was no prop aeration at
all which can sometimes happen with this hull shape as they are
reasonably close to the surface.
If
I can offer some advise, when choosing propellers, do not just get the
cheap ones, both the Ferry and our Alaskan 41 have gone for specific
propellers from Henleys in New Zealand, who are the experts in this type
of full displacement hull shape. We work closely with Twin Disc who are
their Australian agents.
