Solas 9574-160-16 Rubex L4 Series 4-Blade Stainless Steel Propeller 16 x 16

The Solas Rubex L4 Series E (9574-160-16) is a high-performance, 4-blade stainless steel marine propeller measuring 16 inches in diameter with a 16-inch pitch, designed for large-displacement outboard and sterndrive applications demanding superior thrust and efficiency. The L4 designation denotes Solas's large-diameter, 4-blade configuration — engineered to deliver excellent mid-range torque, smooth handling, and strong acceleration even under heavy loads.

Key Features:

• 4-Blade Stainless Steel Construction — Precision-cast stainless steel blades deliver outstanding durability and corrosion resistance in both fresh and saltwater environments
• 16" Diameter x 16" Pitch — Large blade area provides exceptional thrust and load-carrying capability, ideal for heavier vessels and offshore use
• High Rake & Cupped Blade Design — Improves lift, reduces bow rise, and enhances overall top-end performance
• RUBEX Interchangeable Hub System — Compatible with Solas's universal hub system, allowing one propeller shell to be used across multiple engine brands; hub kit sold separately
• Exclusive Solas Squeeze Casting Process — Produces stronger, more consistent blades with tighter tolerances for better balance and performance
• Right-Hand (Standard) Rotation — Series E designation confirms standard right-hand rotation for single-engine applications
• High-Polish Stainless Steel Finish — Reduces drag and improves hydrodynamic efficiency through the water

The Rubex L4 Series is purpose-built for larger boats requiring maximum blade area and holding power. The RUBEX interchangeable hub design means a single propeller blade set can be adapted to a wide range of outboard and sterndrive engines by simply swapping the appropriate hub kit (sold separately). This makes the Rubex L4 a cost-effective long-term investment for boaters who switch engines or own multiple vessels.

Note: A Solas RUBEX hub kit is required for installation and is sold separately. Refer to Solas hub kit compatibility charts to select the correct hub kit for your specific engine model.
