Solas Amita 3 Aluminum Propeller 8.5x9 for Yamaha 6–9.9 HP

The Solas Amita 3 8.5x9″ is a small-sized propeller designed to get the best out of compact 6–9.9 HP outboards. With its 8.5″ diameter and 9″ pitch, this prop focuses on biting into the water quickly and efficiently propelling lightweight boats – such as inflatable dinghies, small jon boats, or car-top tenders. Made of durable aluminum, it offers an upgraded alternative to standard factory props, often providing smoother acceleration and quieter operation.

Solas engineered this propeller to fit perfectly on little Yamahas (and their clone models by Parsun/Selva) – it uses the 7-spline hub common to these engines and is easy to install. With this prop, your small boat will get off the dock more briskly and respond better to helm inputs at low speeds – an important factor when navigating narrow waterways or near shore. Despite its size, the Solas Amita 3 8.5x9 delivers steady thrust even at full throttle, allowing an 8-10 HP motor to reach its full speed potential on an appropriate vessel.

Recommended Uses and Applications:

• Ideal for small inflatables, tenders, and folding fishing boats (2–3.5 m) powered by 6–9.9 HP engines – helps them plane (if capable) and improves handling at slow speeds.
• Suitable for small rescue or utility craft where reliability is key – the Solas Amita 3 provides consistent thrust in any situation.
• Recommended as a spare prop for owners of Yamaha 8-10 HP motors – its compact size is easy to stow on board, and Solas quality gives peace of mind if you need a quick swap in an emergency.
• An excellent choice for updating old props – often increases top speed by 1-2 knots and reduces vibrations compared to a worn or non-OEM prop on a small engine.
