Propeller trailing edge adjustment is a cost effective solution for heavy running propellers. Heavy running means that power generation by the propeller no longer matches the performance of the engine. Because of this, the engine operates in an overload condition at inadequate rpm. This leads to high exhaust gas temperatures as well as increased wear of pistons, liners and valves, resulting in high maintenance costs. It may also be impossible to maintain the vessel’s operational speed, which may cause problems with schedules.
