With the increasing numbers of propellers available on the market and the continued growth of new boats being installed with saildrive legs, knowing what combinations are compatible is becoming an ever more complex task.

To install the saildrive Stripper, there is always a requirement to modified the propeller. These basic modifications are covered in our installation instructions and are in addition to any further modifications list here.

Below is a compatibility matrix for each of the saildrive models of Strippers available and the common propeller models. These lists are by no ways exhaustive or set in stone, as more propellers come onto the market and developments in the Stripper are made, these lists will change.

See bottom of page for list of untested propellers.
