Well done Volvo.....

[petem]

.....for inventing plastic outdrives and plastic duoprops (see p84 MBY). With the cost saving on new anodes and not having to replace corroded props every two years perhaps even I might be able to go boating again one day.

Isn't it a shame there's apparently no plans to launch them in the UK. Is it because the dealers make a nice little earner replacing anodes and volvo make a nice little earner supplying new props? I'll leave it to you to decide.

Why not in UK, where are they available?

 

[petem]

They're being launched in the States. Even offering the composite props over here would be a start.

thought the props were already available ovcer here? but the development sounds interesting

Not everything is black and white if you prove otherwise you’ll get run over on a zebra crossing

These props are available here Northgate marine in norfolk sell them. They had a stand at the Norfolk show ground boat jumble a couple of months back and they were showing them to me. About £150 and blade sets for about £30 so you can fiddle with pitch settings without the balmy cost.

But are these the Volvo item, sounds like they are different ones?

I need duo props do they do those??

I thought Volvo still had copyright protection on Duoprops so nobody else was allowed to make them?
