11 Inches Outboards Propeller Safety Guard What is a Prop propeller Safety Guard ? What is the Propeller Guard Made Of ? A propeller is the most important part of the ship. The propeller is submerged under the water and has blades or wings like a fan, propelling the ship in the water. Since the propeller is under the surface of the water, it can happen that rocks and underwater reefs can damage the blades of the propeller. In order to avoid such damage, a propeller guard needs to be installed. It is made of Rigid polypropylene Plastic which makes it water-resistant and prevents rusting in the salty waters of the ocean. Apart from rocks and reefs, prop guards also offer protection to people who might come in contact with the propellers while doing snorkelling and underwater swimming. Prop guards also protect marine animals who could lose their lives by colliding against the fast-moving propellers. There are different varieties of prop guards, which differ according to the size of the propeller and the choice of the propeller guard that a shipowner wants. They come in sizes that vary anywhere between 9 to 14 inches. What are Propellers Guards Made Of? Usually propeller guards are usually made of stainless steel with various coatings, But this Cover made of polypropylene, it is lighter and the product strength and impact resistance are almost the same as it. Our next models will be made of carbon fibre , but still need 1 year Factors to be considered when installing Propellers Prop guard installation considers many accounts like the type of vessel it is used for, the area of operation of the vessel as well as the circumstances it is most likely to face. An example could be seen in a rescue boat. A rescue boat is usually operated in an area where people are mostly swimming. So they need to be fitted with a prop guard to account for the safety of those people. Another example could be seen in inshore rescue vessels used during rescue operations after a flood. Prop guards are needed so that rocks, grass, or any other large object in the water does not damage the propeller’s blades, thereby preventing the rescue operation. Advantages Propeller guards are mainly used to protect people from getting hurt by the high-speed propeller or simply protect the propeller blades from rocks that can bend or break them. As time has progressed, propeller guards have developed.

The Propeller Safety Cage can protect a family from deadly propeller accidents and give the boat owner the excitement and enjoyment of improved performance. Some advantages of the propeller guards Propeller guards are designed to prevent fishing nets from being stuck, while others are designed to protect aquatic life against propeller blades. Also, some propeller guards reduce erosion as well as increase the visibility of the operator by bringing the bow down. Some ring-type propeller guards are known to increase thrust while also preventing propeller theft. Also, propeller guards reduce the need for propeller maintenance or replacement. Propeller guards are also known to increase fuel and propeller efficiency. 11" Safety propeller Guard can Fit Models Your Motor propeller shaft to Cavitation Plate Size H 5.75" to 6.5"All brands 25-35 hp outboards propellers , fit up to 10.5" propellers .Except Big Foot and High Thrust , it require 13" propeller Guard How to Install a Marine outboard propeller safety guard ?
