This 3-blade aluminum propeller is designed as a direct replacement part for Volvo Penta and Yanmar saildrive systems. The propeller features a fixed rubber hub and fits the standard saildrive shaft with 17 splines.
Compatibility: Suitable for saildrives with 17 splines, including:
-
Volvo Penta: 110S, 120S, MS25S, 130S, 150S
-
Yanmar: SD20, SD30, SD31, SD40, SD50
Difference 2-Blade vs 3-Blade: Many saildrives come equipped with a 2-blade propeller as standard. This 3-blade variant offers increased thrust due to the larger blade surface, which is beneficial for heavier boats or when navigating against strong currents and wind. Additionally, the distribution across three blades ensures better balance, resulting in significantly less vibration in the drivetrain and smoother engine operation.
