After identifying some areas for improvement, we're excited to bring you an update regarding the Three Blade Propellers including information on how to fine tune your existing hubs as well as an introduction to our NEW custom Foil Drive Stainless Steel Bolt Design.
These bolts feature a custom shoulder and have individually been CNC machined to shape specifically for Foil Drive Hubs.
