Your Propellers' job is to convert engine Torque to Thrust. How efficiently it does this job is a function of how well it is matched to your boat and how precisely it carries pitch on and
between each blade. A well tuned propeller will optimize speed, smoothness, and fuel
economy for your boat/motor combination. |
Precision Computer Tuning
At Digital Prop Shop we use the Hale MRI System to precisely measure the diameter, pitch,
position, blade shape, and tracking
of each blade on your propeller. This system uses optical
encoders for measurement which are accurate to .0000000000001 of an inch
, and provides us with a complete picture of your prop
relative to ISO Tolerances. |
|
 |
The tuning and repair process still involves lots of sweat
and the use of hammers or
hydraulics to adjust each blade for position and pitch in local areas along each
radius. |
And after each
adjustment the propeller is again measured on the MRI to gage progress
toward the desired targets. It may take many iterations of adjusting
and measuring in what is a time consuming and often tedious process, but the
end result is a propeller that will do it's torque to thrust job as
efficiently as possible....This is true even with new propellers, where customers
consistently tell us of improved speed and smoothness. |
 |
 |
Finally, each propeller is finished bright, balanced for
weight, and "before and after" color reports are generated for
each customer that clearly show
the improvements made to their propeller(s). |
We
will do a complete computer analysis of your propeller in our shop at NO
CHARGE.
If work needs to be performed after
discussing the results of this analysis with you, the pricing for this service
will be based upon diameter, number of blades
and alloy of the propeller and will be quoted as a firm price.
As one high-end
custom
boat builder recently remarked; "It's the best investment you can make, and
the least amount of money you can spend to see a noticeable improvement in a
boats' performance".
