Enhancements to ISO 484 Standards Lead to Improved Propeller Performance

Today’s complicated and sophisticated propellers can not be repaired with traditional equipment.

Propeller Dynamic’s Windows based software allows our technicians to quickly measure and evaluate modern propellers.

Prop Scan EPS (Enhanced Propeller Standards) is used in the propeller repair and modification process and has been created to further enhance the well respected International ISO 484 Standards. Now your current propellers can be fine tuned to suit your particular boat, motor, and gearbox combination, maximizing vessel performance.

If your propeller is damaged or vibrating, if the engine RPM’s are not correct, or the boat is just sluggish; WildCat Propellers can correct the problem! In addition we can introduce modern design features into your propellers.

Applying these design features will maximize the efficiency of your propellers, yielding extra speed, decreased fuel consumption, smoother running, and quieter propellers.

Prop Scan uses the ISO 484/2 International Standard to inspect, report and repair propellers to guarantee repeatable results and improve performance.

Read How WildCat Props Exceeds the Expectations of Our Customers!

Picked up the boat yesterday, don't really understand the graphs are really telling me however:
• The boat is running better than it ever has before
• Old hull speed of about 8 kts was achieved usually around 2200 rpm, yesterday it was about 1400 rpm
• Top speed on the boat since I bought it has been about 13-14 kts at about 3900 rpm, yesterday I was able to hit WOT at about 4200 rpm with a top end speed (into the wind) of 21.3 kts
Although I don't understand the chart, I do understand the results. Thanks for the help, and I am sure we will stay on touch. I will try to get a new speed curve this weekend for a base reference.

Thanks,
