Note: Adventure Marine Propeller Line Guards are constructed and independently tested to perform under extreme sea conditions in accordance with Coast Guard/SOLAS regulations.

 

To select correct guard measure the distance from under the anti-cavitation plate to the bottom of the skeg. See “A” on drawing.

 

Example:

If this distance measures 12”, the Guard diameter should be 12”. Select: Model 91112 Safety Guard or Model 91112-4 Line Guard.

 

The propeller diameter is always less than the distance from under the anti-cavitation plate to the bottom of the skeg, usually at least 1” to allow for ½” clearance below anti-cavitation plate and ½” above the bottom of the skeg.

 

To select Guard size by propeller diameter only is not recommended. The above mentioned example is the correct selection guide.

Boating Safety 

Protecting humans from a rotating propeller on pleasure boats is difficult. Whatever apparatus is used will affect the performance of the boat, especially speed, to a certain degree. Most responsible boaters will accept this small reduction in speed for the benefit of the safety factor.

A reduction in top speed of approximately 5% was recorded in test-runs using a 16' runabout with a 75HP outboard motor.

The potential hazard can be broken down into several categories:

1.  An outboard motor running at 3200 RPM equipped with a 3-blade propeller, the propeller will strike an object 160 times per second.

2.  A boat moving forward at high speed, will first impact with a body by the lower unit of the motor possibly causing fractures to limbs. Serious injuries could be caused by the rotating propeller blades outer edges.

3.  A boat moving astern at slow speed can cause serious injuries to the human by the rotating propellers full rear surface.

4.  A human striking a moving propeller in a 90 degree angle in relation to the centerline of a boat or being struck by the skeg on the outboard motor from below.

5.  The rear 180 degree propeller angle clearly presents the most dangerous area of the boat propeller to humans.

This is not only a major concern to pleasure boaters, but also ski boats, dive boats, rescue boats, boats with children on board and rental boats plus many other boating activities.

In summary, the unprotected propeller of an outboard or inboard /outboard motor is a major hazard to humans.

Many serious injuries and fatalities attest to this fact every boating season.

The Series 9000 Propeller Safety Guards have been designed in an effort to reduce injuries and to provide a reasonable degree of protection.

"I'd like to extol the value and merits of your prop guard product. I called recently to order my second one. I have one on my 50 horse pontoon boat, now I'm ordering one for my 15 horse Mariner on my 14 foot Grumman fishing boat. The guard paid for itself 4 times over last summer. I can't wait to get one on our small boat before my two sons hit the water again this year. The guard is about the same price as the blade on my outboard, so it'll pay for itself the first rock my son finds in our river.

They go on easy, stay firm and I really feel my motor is protected. I don't know why you haven't sold one of these for every boat yet. Don't worry, when word gets out, YOU WILL!


"This guard paid for itself 4 times over last summer."

Attached you'll find a picture I took recently of the guard on my 50 horse 4 cycle. It's in a foot of snow in our back yard. It's winter here now, but it'll warm up soon and it'll be back in the water then. The prop guard covers the blade all four seasons here at our house and this picture shows it."
Pete Jones, Concord, New Hampshire (USA)

"Thanks I received the guard yesterday. It looks great! I hope to install it in the next couple of days. Good to see PRIDE OF CRAFTSMANSHIP IS NOT DEAD."
Thomas Schneider

"I have a Yamaha 9.9 HP, 4 stroke high thrust trolling motor on a 24 foot aluminum cabin cruiser. The prop is currently uncovered and I just ate another downrigger line in a high wind today. I would like to guard the prop as this is the fourth time I've wound line."
Doug & Peg Albertson


Line guard on USCG rescue RIB

"I only lost about 4mph on top end (25mph to 21mph) and it's already saved me 2 props! Thanks."
