NZ Patent No 585508
Ever since mono hulled
single prop watercraft e.g. boats and kontikis there has been a
problem of the craft canting in the direction of the torque the
propeller. This causes the craft to veer in the direction of the
cant.
Kentiki is the first
manufacturer to tackle the problem at its source.
We have designed a
specially shaped device which is installed close to, and behind the
propeller, that eliminates the torque steer and puts all the thrust
in a straight direction with no swirling.
Since May 2010, we have
been fitting this device to our machines and then taking each
machine to a lake and setting the angle of the motor so that the
machine is travelling in a dead straight line.
The feedback we have had
from customers and onlookers has exceeded our expectations.
