SuperCrew: Goodbye Root Cavitation

The SuperCrew is a medium-speed propeller that has been engineered to run with ease under heavy loading where efficiency and vibration reduction are top priorities. If your prime mission is to move crews and widely varying loads as quickly as possible, the SuperCrew is a great propeller to consider. We’ve developed the blade sections with thicker roots to absorb big horsepower, yet they’re able to maintain the efficiency that operators expect for their fleet. The SuperCrew has been designed to prevent cavitation at the root of the propeller blades, resulting in fewer visits to the prop shop. Additionally, it is much heavier than traditional propellers, which guards against damage and breakage. And when it comes time for repairs, the no-nonsense flat pressure face gets these wheels in and out of the shop in no time without added expense. Efficiency and durability can be a delicate balance to achieve and the SuperCrew does a great job of both. To ensure this is the right propeller for you, we can use our computational fluid dynamics capability to examine exactly how your vessel would perform under certain conditions with these props under the boat. If customizations need to be made to improve efficiency, we can dial in the specifics of the propeller design as well as make recommendations regarding the rest of your underwater gear such as struts and rudders.
