CHINE:
Chine interceptors provide a unique means of maximizing pitch and roll motion control by utilizing the furthest
outboard surfaces of the hull bottom for lift generation.
INTERMEDIATE:When space between multiple outboards or sterndrives is tight, an intermediate interceptor offers a viable
alternative for additional pitch and roll motion control not possible with a straight interceptor without degrading
propeller performance.
As a rule, the lift effect of a chine interceptor matches the lift of a straight interceptor one size larger mounted inboard of the chine, making them the go-to choice when selecting interceptors.
Thanks to their special blade shape, intermediate interceptors generate a narrower trail, thus
mitigating propeller inflow disturbance and even allowing installation between outboards mounted at their minimum offset.
