Fin tab device for marine vessels

摘要

A fin tab device for a marine vessel driven by a propeller is provided with a fin-shaped main fin tab member and a fin-shaped sub-fin tab member, both tab members extending downwardly from a substantially planar fixing portion detachably and adjustably secured to the bottom face of a stern structure. The two tab members are in an in-line, spaced-apart, tandem relation, the sub-fin tab member projecting downwardly a shorter distance than the main fin tab member. The sub-fin tab member is at a positon between the tip circle of the propeller and the main fin tab member. Cavitation bubbles first collide with the sub-fin tab member, imparting impact force thereto, whereby the lower end portion thereof is broken while the main fin tab member is shielded and protected by the sub-fin tab member.
