The Kaplan propeller is designed for hard working Trawlers, Dragger and Tugs. Manufactured to operate in a nozzle, such as Michigan's ducted propeller system, the highly loaded applications can develoop substantially greater thrust than open of free propellers at working speeds. The Kaplan system incorporates air foil sections at the inner radii and flat face ogival sections at the outer radii, for maximum thrust.

The Trawler series gives four blade performance without reduced diameter, and is primarily used on shrimp boats, trawlers and similar vessels that need thrust and smooth running performance.

Both the Kaplan and Trawler series are available in NiBrAl (Nickel, Bronze, Aluminum), Manganese Bronze or Stainless Steel alloys.
