It uses a pressed-in rubber hub, the same shock-absorbing design as the factory Yamaha propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCheck your fitment before ordering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePropellers are engine-specific.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diameter, pitch and gearcase all have to match, and a propeller that bolts on is not necessarily a propeller that runs correctly. Before you order, confirm three things against your current propeller or your engine manual: the gearcase your Yamaha uses, the diameter, and the rotation direction. Right-hand rotation is standard on single-engine boats. On twin-engine boats one side is counter-rotating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are not certain, check the Solas application chart for your engine's horsepower and gearcase, or contact us with your engine model and the numbers stamped on your current propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow pitch changes the way your boat runs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePitch is the distance the propeller would travel in one rotation through a solid. Lower pitch turns higher RPM and gives stronger hole shot and better load-carrying. Higher pitch gives more top speed and lower cruising RPM but works the engine harder from a standstill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe target is to reach the top of your engine's wide-open-throttle RPM range with a normal load. Roughly, every inch of pitch is worth about 150-200 RPM: if you are over-revving, go up in pitch; if you cannot reach the top of the range, come down. At 19 inches this is a mid-range pitch - a balanced choice for general-purpose running rather than a hole-shot or top-speed specialist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy stainless over aluminum\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless blades are thinner and far stiffer than aluminum. They hold their shape under load instead of flexing, which is worth measurable speed and better bite in a turn. They also survive impacts that would fold an aluminum blade, and they can be repaired rather than replaced. Solas stainless carries the industry's highest percentage of chromium, nickel and molybdenum, so it resists rust and corrosion better than commodity stainless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel, three-blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-5\/8\" diameter, 19\" pitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh chromium, nickel and molybdenum content for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAD\/CAM\/CAE-designed geometry, precision tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlades\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16-5\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRight hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHub type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRubber hub\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngine brand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamaha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.93 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3641-166-19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e824375054778\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if I need 19\" or 21\" pitch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRun your boat at wide open throttle with a typical load and read the tachometer. If you are above your engine's rated WOT range, go up in pitch. If you cannot reach it, go down. Each inch of pitch is worth roughly 150-200 RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is right-hand rotation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewed from behind the boat, a right-hand propeller turns clockwise in forward gear. Single-engine boats are almost always right-hand. Twin-engine boats run one right-hand and one left-hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a stainless prop actually make my boat faster?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsually yes, by a small margin, because stainless blades do not flex under load the way aluminum does.
