Foldable propeller and method for assembly

A foldable propeller for a boat, wherein the foldable propeller comprises a hub for directly or indirectly fastening to a driveshaft that is connected to a motor, the drive shaft defining a rotation axis and an axial direction;

• wherein the foldable propeller comprises a plurality of individual blades, where each of the blades comprises a blade root arranged to pivot around a corresponding pivot pin in the hub in order for the blades to be either in a first orientation, which is an operative orientation where each blade is extending from the blade root in a radial direction, or in a second orientation, which is an inoperative orientation where each blade is extending from the blade root in the axial direction;
• wherein the hub correspondingly comprises a plurality of hub flanges with a slot in between neighbouring hub flanges, each slot accommodating one of the blade roots;
• wherein each pivot pin comprises a stem between a first end and a second end, the stem extending through an aperture in the blade root in order for the blade with the aperture being mounted pivotal about the stem;
• each hub flange comprising a hole in which a first end of one of the pivot pins is accommodated and an aperture in which at least part of a second end of another of the pivot pins is accommodated such that each pivot pin extend from one of the hub flanges to another of the hub flanges, wherein the pivot pins are oriented in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the propeller, wherein each of the pivot pins at its second end comprises a portion that is dimensioned larger than the first end, the portion forming a head with a recess that accommodates the first end of another of the pivot pins inside the head.
