Preparing Your Vehicle For A Gooseneck Hitch Plate Installation

Tip of the Week! What is a Kort Nozzle? A Kort nozzle is a hydrodynamically designed shroud that encircles a ship’s outboard propeller just outside the blade tips. The Kort nozzle improves the overall efficiency of the propeller at low speeds (below ten knots). Above that speed, the inefficiency caused by the drag produced by the shroud exceeds the efficiency of the increased water flow through the propeller. For that reason, the shrouded propeller is used almost exclusively on vessels requiring high thrust at low speed, such as tugs and trawlers. Bollard pull on a tug fitted with a Kort nozzle may be up to 30% higher in some situations than the bollard pull on a similar tug with a traditional open propeller. The Kort nozzle for propeller protector may be fixed, with vessel directional control coming from a traditional rudder, or the nozzle may be designed to pivot so that the water flowing through the nozzle controls the vessel’s direction. Kort nozzle can also provide some protection for the ship's navigation in the ice region to avoid propeller damage.
