Solas Propeller Parts & Accessories

Solas Propeller Parts & Accessories: The Support System Behind Every Great Prop

When boaters talk about Solas propellers, the conversation almost always starts with the blades themselves — but experienced mariners know that a propeller is only as reliable as the hardware and accessories supporting it. Solas has built its reputation on the same engineering discipline that defines its full propeller lineup, extending that commitment to the propeller parts and accessories that keep every installation solid, safe, and performing at its best.

The Rubex Hub System: Solas's Signature Accessory

Solas propeller accessories center on two core hardware categories: Fixed Pressed-In Prop Hardware Kits and the RBX Rubex Hub Kit system. The Rubex interchangeable hub concept is the cornerstone of Solas's accessories lineup, and for good reason. The Rubex hub is made of rubber rather than plastic, making it highly resistant to the harsh marine environment, while its design allows it to absorb shifting and shock when the propeller strikes an object. Importantly, all Rubex interchangeable hubs are reusable — if your propeller is damaged, the hub can be transferred to a compatible Mercury Flo-Torque or Michigan Vortex propeller.

Two foundations set Solas apart from competing brands: the unique casting process that yields stronger, thinner, and smoother blades, and their specially designed, rubber-molded octagonal hubs that increase vibrational absorption and reduce slippage. The Rubex hub kit system puts that octagonal hub technology directly in the hands of boaters who want to upgrade or service their existing setup without replacing the entire propeller assembly.

Fixed Pressed-In Hardware: Straightforward, Reliable Installation

For boaters running a traditional fixed pressed-in propeller, Solas offers one-piece props with the rubber-cushioned hub already factory-installed — no separate hub kit required. Installation uses your existing thrust washer, spacers, and attaching hardware to secure the prop to the shaft. This simplicity makes Solas prop hardware an accessible choice for both DIY boaters and marine technicians handling routine maintenance.

Engineered to the Same Standard as Solas Propellers

Solas doesn't treat accessories as an afterthought. Utilizing extensive research and development, state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities, and realistic testing technologies — including composition, salt spray, and rubber torque testing — the company produces world-class watercraft propeller components. Solas stainless steel propeller hardware features the industry's highest percentage of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, the same material philosophy that carries over into every prop-related product the brand produces.

The purposeful blend of metals makes Solas hardware incredibly resistant to rust despite constant exposure to saltwater, and allows propeller assemblies to run in a more stable manner. Whether you're replacing a worn hub insert before a long offshore run or restocking your maintenance kit for the season, Solas parts are built to the same tolerances as the propellers they support.

Broad Compatibility Across Engine Brands

With over 1,000 blade variations of material, style, hubs, size, and pitch, Solas propellers fit a wide range of boats from 2.5 to 400 horsepower. That same breadth of coverage extends to Solas's hardware and hub kits, which are engineered to fit major outboard and stern drive brands including Mercury, Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Johnson/Evinrude, and MerCruiser. Whether you're maintaining a single-engine recreational boat or a twin-engine performance rig, the right Solas prop accessory is available to match.
