SOLAS aluminium propellers

How do I choose the right Solas aluminum propeller for my outboard motor?

Check your engine model and consult the Solas compatibility chart available on our site. Consider the type of activity you mainly engage in (fishing, cruising, waterskiing) and choose the most suitable propeller pitch. A shorter pitch offers greater acceleration, while a longer pitch is ideal for speed. If in doubt, contact our experts for personalized advice.

Are Solas aluminum propellers corrosion resistant?

Yes, Solas propellers are made from high-quality aluminum alloys that offer excellent resistance to galvanic corrosion, protecting the propeller from wear caused by salt water. However, regular maintenance is recommended to extend its lifespan.

What should I do if my aluminum propeller is damaged?

If the propeller has dents, deformations, or cracks, it is advisable to replace it to avoid vibrations, premature engine wear, and a drop in performance. A damaged propeller can negatively affect speed and fuel consumption.

Which brands of outboard motors are Solas aluminum propellers compatible with?

Solas aluminum propellers are compatible with a wide range of outboard motor brands, including Tohatsu, Mercury, Yamaha, and Suzuki. Consult our compatibility chart to verify compatibility with your specific model.

What is the difference between a 3-blade and a 4-blade propeller?

3-blade propellers are more common and versatile, offering a good compromise between speed and acceleration. 4-blade propellers, on the other hand, offer greater thrust and control, especially at low speeds, making them ideal for fishing and heavy boats.
