ABSTRACT:
A nautical propulsion performance enhancer for a propeller of a marine propeller type propulsion system, comprising a facility for twisting and directing a flow of water into the propeller, in such a manner that swirling water will hit the propeller in a direction opposite to rotation of the propeller. A structure is for mounting the twisting and directing facility to the marine propeller type propulsion system adjacent the propeller, in order to overcome unwanted effects of cavitation and porpoising.
