EWOL at the Annapolis boat show: high-tech propellers and the new EnergyMatic on display

EWOL sailboat propellers are made of stainless steel super-alloys assuring the highest mechanical and corrosion resistance.

Blades flip 180° giving exceptional thrust and reduced prop walk while docking Dynamic balancing and a central pinion for blades synchronization kill vibrations.
