Autostream feathering
three blade propeller
STEEL Developments are the UK agents for the
Autostream and Slipstream stainless steel low
drag propellers.
The Autostream feathering three blade propeller is made from durable stainless steel and
comes with an unmatched five year guarantee to
ensure many years trouble free boating.
With this propeller you will always have total
control, excellent reverse thrust and minimal drag
when under sail.
The propeller has adjustable pitch and this can
easily be “fine tuned”, even while in the water, to
suit your boat perfectly, the pitch can be independently adjusted for forward and reverse gear.
The slipstream folding propeller gives minimal
drag with a unique blade geometry resulting in a
smoother and more reliable opening of the
blades.
The slipstream is available as a two or three
blade version.
