Using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, Michigan Wheel can design and manufacture custom bronze struts to match the vessel structure. This custom design aides in managing cavitation, reducing noise and vibration, and potentially increasing speed.
Bronze rudder assemblies including tiller arms, bearings, and tubes. Available in a range of balanced designs with straight, swept back, or scimitar leading edge. Michigan Wheel’s wake-adapted rudders can actually recapture some of the energy put into the water by the propeller and convert it into thrust.
Michigan Wheel has had great success designing and manufacturing wake-adapted propellers for pleasure craft, work boats, and patrol boats. Benefits compared to off the shelf propellers include reduced fuel costs, higher top speed, and greatly reduced vibrations.
