Performance Information
Our technology boasts an impressive range of advantages over conventional propellers, covering every major performance measure:
Better Performance
Higher Thrust: better acceleration Greater Speed: >10% faster
Greater Range: uses 30% less energy Saves fuel, cuts carbon emissions
Better Maneuverability
Excellent handling near docks & structure Reverse thrust = forward thrust
Much shorter stopping distances
Instant acceleration forward & reverse Better bite in turns
Maintains speed in turns
SUPERIOR THRUST, EVEN IN REVERSE
Conventional propellers are notoriously bad in reverse, typically providing less than 25% of forward thrust. This is an issue when trying to avoid collisions, especially in crowded areas, near docks and in stumpy fishing areas. Maelstrom props provide reverse thrust equal to 100% of forward thrust, making it much easier to avoid collisions with stumps, docks, and other boats.
Nearly Indestructible
