Abstract: THIS invention relates to a propeller and more particularly but not exclusively, to a propeller for use with inboard and outboard boat engines. The propeller includes a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from the hub, wherein each blade comprises a blade body having a blade face and a blade back, with the blade body terminating in a peripheral zone. The propeller also includes blade edge covering members which are releasably securable to at least part of the peripheral zone of the blade so as to cover a radially outer edge of the peripheral zone.

Abstract: THIS invention relates to a propeller and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a propeller for use with inboard and outboard boat engines. The propeller includes a hollow hub and a plurality of primary blades extending substantially radially outwardly from the hub, with each primary blade including a blade face, a blade back and a root section. The propeller is characterized in that a set of secondary blades are provided inside the hub, and that an inner volume of the hub is in flow communication with a volume radially outwardly of the propeller hub.

Abstract: THIS invention relates to a propeller and more particularly but not exclusively, to a propeller for use with inboard and outboard boat engines. The propeller includes a hub, and a plurality of blades, each blade having a blade face, a blade back and a blade peripheral zone comprising a leading edge, a trialing edge and a blade tip zone extending between the leading edge and the trialing edge. The propeller is characterized in that a flow guide is provided on the blade back of each blade.
