Solas Amita 3 Stainless Front Left Propeller 15x19 for Volvo Penta DuoProp

The Solas Amita 3 front stainless propeller 15x19 brings out the best of dual counter-rotating prop technology for Volvo Penta sterndrives. As the forward (lead) propeller with left-hand rotation, it works in tandem with the rear prop to deliver unrivaled water grip and steering stability. Made from premium stainless steel, this prop resists cavitation, impact damage, and corrosion – ensuring long life and reliable operation even in saltwater. Its high-rake blade geometry with cupping provides enhanced stern lift and contributes to quicker planing of the boat.

This 15″ x 19″ three-blade Solas front prop is an excellent all-around choice for boats with mid to high-power engines (gasoline V6/V8 or diesels up to ~230 HP) equipped with Volvo Penta DuoProp drives (280/290 DP series). Recommended use: on vessels around 20–26 feet (6–8 m) with moderate load, where a balance of strong acceleration and solid top speed is desired. If your boat is on the heavier side or frequently carries big loads, you might opt for the 17″ pitch variant (C4 set) for even quicker planing. Conversely, for lighter, fast runabouts, a 21″ pitch (C6) is available to maximize top-end speed provided the engine can turn it.

Features & Benefits:

• DuoProp System Advantage: As the front prop in a twin-prop set, it pairs with a rear prop (opposite rotation) to virtually eliminate steering torque and improve straight-line tracking and handling
• Exceptional Grip: The counter-rotating dual prop set bites into the water with more surface area, yielding superior traction especially during acceleration and tight maneuvering – great for heavier boats that need extra thrust out of the hole
• Rugged Stainless Construction: Stainless steel blades won’t flex under high load like aluminum – maintaining their shape for maximum efficiency at speed. The material is highly resistant to rust, ideal for saltwater use and heavy-duty applications
• Compatibility & Installation: Fits Volvo Penta Aquamatic sterndrives DP280/DP290 (C5 series sets). Mounts easily on the 27-spline shaft with the OEM Volvo hardware (nut and cone kit). No modifications required – a direct replacement upgrade for the original prop
• Performance Boost: Expect quicker acceleration (reduced time to plane) and potentially improved fuel economy at cruise, as the engine can run in its optimal RPM range. The Solas Amita 3 design also contributes to smoother operation with less vibration, enhancing overall boating experience
