When it comes to repair and correction there are several steps to getting the most out of Prop Scan technology and optimizing the performance of your vessel.
1) Sea Trial
It starts with a good sea trial. The data from this sea trial along with boat specifications and propulsion efficiencies is crucial to successfully tuning your propellers for optimum performance.
2) Inspect and scan propeller
Your propeller is inspected and scanned using the Prop Scan measuring instrument. The “as arrived” computerized report will show the true state of your propeller. The hydrodynamic features of your propeller, good or bad, will be evident and the accuracy will be
compared to ISO 484/2 international standards. This is done at no charge to you.
3) Identify deficiencies
By combining the sea trial data and scan report results our technicians are able to identify deficiencies and areas for improvement.
4) Solution
The initial inspection data, sea trial conditions, and performance to specifications are assessed and different options for correction and repair are considered.
A plan is then formulated to address and correct the deficiencies found. It becomes the road map to
improvement and repair.
5) Validate
However, before any work begins we validate our plan by using Prop Scan EDP (Enhanced Propeller Designs) and Prop Scan Crystal Ball prediction software to verify the expected outcome of the plan. This along with our experience with other similar situations also helps us to validate the direction we’re headed.
6) Repair and correction
Our technicians follow the plan making the necessary corrections and inspect the quality of their work all along the way with the Prop Scan measuring instrument.
Once completed a quality certificate showing compliance to ISO 484/2 and Prop Scan EPS Class Standards is generated.
7) Confirmation
A final sea trial paying particular attention to the WOT rpms, speed, and smoothness will confirm that we got it right (the first time).
