I had some of the first Kiwiprops in North America on my Simpson Catamaran back around the Late 90s and since we're Cat people we provided the early test beds for a lot of product development
After John Blundell, the Kiwi who designed the KiwiProp, Bernard might know the most about Kiwiprops and how they work. He runs our shop and has possibly put more miles on Kiwiprops with his Catamaran than anyone in the world
John and his clever, ever inquisitive mind are at the heart of every KiwiProp. Who better than a Kiwi to come up with the simplest most durable best performing, cost effective, feathering propeller on the market today.
Typically we have a few emails back and forth to confirm specs on your specific vessel then all we need is a visa/mc, and your new prop shows up in 1-2 weeks anywhere in the world!
This is very dependant on your current setup and your vessel but we often expect a significant improvement in reverse thrust and better control, motoring performance similar to a fixed prop and a 1-2 knot improvement in sailing speeds especially noticeable in light airs and while tacking.
Grease, Grease and More Grease! Seriously the simple design of the Kiwiprops mean there is very little to wear out or require replacement. Annual greasing of the hub and blades is recommended to keep everything functioning properly and that's it!
In a word... NO! The props ship fully assembled and are easy to install. Sailors tend to be tinkerers, and we often get emails from someone who has disassembled their prop... this is never necessaryand reassembly can be tricky. We offer an inexpensive reassembly, refresh, diagnostic service if something about your prop has you perplexed, but we are just as happy to resolve your problems via email and send you any parts you might have need of.
The simple reliable design of the Kiwiprop has proven to be more reliable and durable than the complex geared desgins offered by competitors. No need to remachine or rebuild due to wear over time. The stainless/zytel materials have proven to be very corrosion resistant and minor repairs to blades due to impact can often be owner serviced with epoxy and filler.
