Separate external pitch adjustment:
The external pitch adjustment is separate for forward and reverse. It allows easy, fast and precise, continously variable pitch adjustments to your specific needs. No large and imprecise minimum steps as with others.
Less fuel consumption
The VARIPROFILE, with optimal pitch adjustment, not only provides more thrust in forward and reverse than other propellers, but amazingly also uses less fuel doing so. Yanmar-France tested the fuel consumption of a 3-blade VARIPROFILE with a 3-blade ZF standard fixed prop, both on the same Jeanneau SUN ODYSSEY 30i.
The astounding results: Average fuel consumption with the fixed prop was 0.48 liter p. nautical mile vs. O.32 liter with the VARIPROFILE, a reduction OF 33 %. YET THE SPEED AT THE SAME RPM WAS AN AVERAGE 7% HIGHER, yielding the best of both worlds: Higher speed and substantially less fuel consumption.
Better Hydro-Dynamics
Thanks to the slim profile of he VARIPROFILE hydro-dynamics under sail are excellent.
How well the VARIPROFILE fared is impressively shown in the tests.
