CX Series

The FEDERAL CX series propellers are the BEST possible choice for propeller performance. Federal naval architects can design a custom propeller for your specific application. Using vessel data and performance targets provided by the customer, a propeller with the optimum combination of diameter, pitch, blade count, blade area, and camber is designed to maximize the performance of each yacht that is evaluated. Maximum performance is not just better top speed; it is a better cruise spped, better acceleration, improved fuel economy, and smoother, quieter operation. All CX series propellers are compeltely CNC machined to exacting specifications.

The use of the latest CNC machining and inspection technology ensures that every CX propeller is manufactured as designed. This process results in consistent and repeatable propeller manufacture, so replacement sets or spares will match the originals.

The Federal design and sales team works closely with designers, yacht builders, propeller shops and owners to qualify optimal propellers for any given application. Federal engineers use the latest in propeller design technology to design each propeller, including custom propeller geometry design code and sophisticated hydrodynamic analysis software. This allows the designer to maximize propeller efficiency while minimizing the performance robbing effects of cavitation. This is particularly important as engine horsepower and boat speeds continue to increase.

Every new CX series propeller is given a 5-digit serial number, which gives customer service and repair agents a detailed history for a particular propeller. Field service requires sophisticated computerized propeller measurement equipment, ie: Hale MRI, which can appreciate the original design and apply to any rework necessary.

CX series propellers are available in 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8-blade configurations. Blade area ratios are determined by the special application.
