We tell you everything you need to know about props from cupping to ventilation.
Most outboard & stern drive engines vent exhaust thru the prop hub.
Non thru-hub exhaust systems are found mostly on low horsepower motors.
A Pin Drive prop application has no splines. The prop is secured to a smooth prop shaft with a pin through the shaft. here
SOLAS uses a state of the art squeeze casting process to make their aluminum propellers stonger and tougher than traditional die cast props. SOLAS aluminum propellers have 4 layers of paint. Using superior coatings ensures excellent anti-corrosion performance.
Making quality Boat Propellers since 1985
Solas Boat Propellers Founded in 1985, SOLAS is now one of the most well known and trusted names in outboard and stern drive propellers. SOLAS' success is largely due to superior propeller design and craftsmanship.
#1 Ranked Propeller Numerous tests conducted by major media authorities have proven that SOLAS propellers stand up to collisions better than the competitors'. Long term durability studies have shown that SOLAS propellers' resistance against corrosion outperforms all others in their class. here
High Precision Prop Design All SOLAS propellers are developed through a state of the art process. Using theoretical calculations, geometry design, modern CAD technologies, prototype testing, pilot production and field tests, SOLAS props are designed to be superior to other propellers.

The prop I want to tell about is the Solas Amita3. The blade area of this prop was deceiving in that it appears to be made for heavy load applications. It does carry a load well but it bites better than expected, has great Top-end yet still has good hole-shot.
The Amita3 that is being sold now is NOT the same as the original production. these newer ones are better built and have several features built in that impressed me. One item was how the cup is made-very clean cup lines for alum.
I ran a 13-1/4X17P on an E-TEC 115 to start with. I then ran 3 Merc designs, 2 MWC designs and a Propco. I did not run a Turning point alum. in this but I do have experience with the TP on larger Gearcases.
For what it's worth, the Amita3 outperformed everything else I ran by a considerable margin. Lowest slip-ratio, highest top speed, highest running height without venting and best 0-20mph time.
I'm really impressed with the capabilities of this prop-probably the best performing aluminum I've ever ran.
The price on this prop is a true STEAL for it's capabilities.
Don't plan on sticking this unless I see a lot of feed back, then I may include it in my prop testing pinned at the top.
Thanks all and thank you Solas for a great design!
Any chance you could compare the 4 blade amita aluminium to the 3 blade? That prop is often recomended here and I'm certain many would be interested in the 3-blade vs 4-blade in this prop. [links]
I cannot confirm that at this time but I believe that is the case. the Rubex just requires a hub for all apps in that blade design/gearcase size. more
I recently bought a new prop using prop finder to get a compatable prop for my etec 135 ho. I went with a evinrude prop because that is what my old prop was. When I switched the props out I noticed they were different. The new prop fits but when I put it on, it sinks in until the groove on the prop stops it from going further and I was under the impression that it should not go in that far. The old prop does not go in up to the groove. I exchanged it for a Solas prop and I am running into the same issue. I attached pictures so you can see what I mean. I am just wondering if this is fine and if not what do I need to do.
