Looking for just a little more torque to get out of the water easier?
Designed to increase low end thrust, the Three Blade Propeller Hub is an optional upgrade for Foil Drive Assist PLUS units, a game changer for riders pushing the limits of rider weight, board size and foil size.
When compared to the standard Two Blade Propeller system, the Three Blade Propeller system improves performance by:
It is specifically designed for riders who require more low end torque, whether this is due to using a low volume board, a smaller or higher aspect foil than normal, or being a heavier rider.
We do not recommend using the Three Blade Propeller Hub for prolonged efoiling at full throttle as this will drain your battery much quicker, and could cause the electronics to go into thermal overload protection. The three blade propellers will draw more watts / power that the two blade prop that can " unload " at full throttle when on foil. Do NOT use three blade prop above 90% throttle continuously when efoiling. You must let the ESC in the box cool in the water from time to time.
Note:
- Not compatible with Foil Drive Assist. While they do fit, these propellers require the higher RMP of the Assist PLUS or Gen2 in order to improve performance.
-Three Blade Propeller Hubs must be used with three propellers!
Quieter and more powerful. I really like my upgrade to the three bladed prop. It gives me more power to get up quickly, and I don't care if the top speed is less, since I'm out there to catch waves. The most important benefit for me is that the prop is noticeably quieter when it is only partly submerged, which is most of the time in my case with a 15 cm cable. This makes my experience better, and it disturbs others less. It would be good to have this as an option when purchasing.
The gen 2 motor does not produce enough power for the 3rd prop blade. Actually has less power (less rpms) than the standard 2 blade. Not a purchase anyone should make.
Hey Jon, sorry to hear you're not happy with your three blade propellers. As all of our information does explain, it offers more low end thrust at the sacrifice of less top end speed. While a lot of people prefer the three blade, it's not for everyone. If you're not wanting to loose that top end speed definitely stick with the tow.
