Product Details

The Solas 8512-153-21 is a high-performance aluminum front propeller designed specifically for Volvo Penta DP280 and DP290 dual propeller outdrives. This 3-blade front propeller features a 15.3-inch diameter and 21-inch pitch, engineered to deliver exceptional acceleration and top-end speed for a wide range of boating applications.

Key Features:

  • 15.3-inch diameter with 21-inch pitch for optimal performance
  • 3-blade aluminum construction using exclusive squeeze cast process
  • High rake blade design with cupping for improved stern lift and acceleration
  • Rubber hub molded in octagonal shape to absorb vibration and reduce slipping
  • Four layers of protective paint for superior corrosion resistance
  • Compatible with Volvo Penta A, B, and C series DP280 and DP290 drives
  • Designed to deliver highest top speeds and excellent hole shot for watersports

Manufacturing Quality:

Solas propellers utilize an advanced squeeze casting process that produces stronger, more durable aluminum propellers compared to traditional die-cast methods. The result is a nearly non-porous structure with finer grain size, creating blades that are thinner, smoother, and more efficient. Each propeller undergoes over 500 hours of salt water spray testing, simulating more than six months of marine use.

Application:

This front propeller is designed as a cost-effective OEM replacement for Volvo Penta dual prop systems. It fits with existing hardware and delivers comparable performance to original equipment. Ideal for ski boats, tow boats, pontoons, and general recreational boating. Must be paired with a compatible rear propeller (sold separately) to complete the dual prop setup.

Note: This propeller requires OEM hardware for installation and may require special tools. Consult your engine manual for proper installation and torque specifications.
