Get a grip with Yamaha's Talon props
New alloy-prop series and special soft-rubber hub deliver smooth, quiet performance on a broad range of boatsYamaha Marine Group announced has launched a new 2014 series of high-performance aluminium propellers for its mid-range outboards that come standard with the exclusive Shift Dampener System (SDS™), a special rubber prop hub design bringing no-clunk, quiet operation to a broader range of boats.
Named Talon, the new propellers were designed specifically for larger Yamaha mid-range outboards and have an all-new blade architecture that’s said to be perfect for pontoon, walleye (read bass, bream and barra), deep V and fibreglass boats.
Considered a great companion to Yamaha’s new F115B outboard (which your crew at BoatPoint and boatsales is testing this week), the new Talon propellers bring a new level of quiet and comfort to Yamaha outboards from the F70 up to the F115, as well as the high thrust T50 and T60. Th propeller series features a replaceable SDS hub that requires no special hardware for proper operation.
“Now, you don’t have to be an offshore boater to have smooth and quiet operation when shifting or trolling,” said Yamaha Product Information and Propeller Manager, David Meeler. “Talon propellers give you the smooth and quiet operation of SDS, and performance from an aluminum prop that has to be felt to be believed. These are high-performance aluminum propellers that are perfect for the mid-range segment of the boat market.”
Talon propellers feature a high-efficiency, low slip design, have a 13.5-inch diameter, and are available in 9-inch, 10.5-inch, 12-inch, 14-inch, and 16-inch pitches for great hole-shot.
The new Talon props are said to not only greatly reduce the clunk that is sometimes associated with shifting, but also provide smooth and quiet in-gear operation, even at very low speeds. This is of particular benefit for outboards using in-line cylinder designs.
The new Yamaha Talon propellers are expected to be available mid-2014. Learn more about Yamaha's propeller selection at http://yamahaoutboards.com/propellers/propellers-by-application.
