Autoprop’s unique design and superb build quality make it the first choice feathering propeller among cruising yachtsmen the world over, with drag reduction when sailing by at least 85%, and a unique ability to change pitch automatically to suit prevailing wind and sea conditions when motoring or motor sailing. Auto pitching, auto feathering, the same thrust in astern as ahead, less prop-walk in astern, a brand new version for hybrid and purely electrically driven vessels, and a recently developed ability to produce very efficient and economic propulsion for purely diesel powered displacement motor boats are more than reason enough.
Autoprop is a unique propeller which has been praised by yachting writers around the world. Whatever type of cruising sailing yacht you may own, mono or multihull, or displacement motor vessel, leisure or commercial. If you need more information don’t hesitate to contact us.

AUTOLOCK
A propeller that continues to rotate when a vessel is sailing can be major problem. It is most likely to affect yachts fitted with a hydraulic gearbox. To solve this problem we developed the Autolock.
As its name suggests Autolock is a shaft braking system for yachts fitted with hydraulic gearboxes. Its operation is totally automatic, springs apply the brake when the engine is turned off and the brake is automatically released by gearbox oil pressure as soon as the engine is started.
If you are looking for a reliable way to enable your feathering or folding propeller to do its job when you start sailing and want the added benefits of reduced gearbox wear, reduced prop drag and the elimination of the sounds of a prop shaft turning and intruding on your sailing, then the Autolock is your solution
