Solas Bravo Two Aluminum Propeller 19.25x15 Left-Hand for MerCruiser Bravo 2

This Solas propeller (Part No. 1612-193-15) is specifically designed for the MerCruiser Bravo Two – the second-generation sterndrive used with high-power inboard engines on heavy, high-draft boats. With an impressive 19.25-inch diameter and 15-inch pitch, this 3-blade prop generates the massive thrust required to drive heavyweight vessels such as cruising yachts, sport cruisers, houseboats, or commercial workboats. The left-hand rotation of this prop means it’s intended for installation on the port side engine in twin-engine setups, where one prop spins left and the other spins right to counteract torque and improve straight-line tracking. Solas Bravo Two propellers are cast from aluminum with precision, ensuring blade strength and good durability against minor debris impacts. Usage and Recommendations: This prop is suitable for boats running MerCruiser Bravo 2 sterndrives with a counter-rotating (left-hand) shaft – typically twin-engine boats, such as larger 8-10+ meter cabin cruisers with dual V8 engines, twin-engined sport boats, houseboats, etc. In a typical twin installation, the left-hand prop (this product) goes on the port engine and the right-hand prop on the starboard engine to provide balanced thrust. The Solas Bravo Two 19.25x15L instills confidence when handling a heavy boat: it helps the vessel climb onto plane more quickly despite substantial weight, and at cruising speed the prop maintains a firm bite, ensuring efficient power transfer. The integrated rubber hub helps dampen shifting forces and protects the sterndrive’s gears from shock loads – a critical feature given the large diameter and mass of this prop. During installation, make sure to use the correct thrust washer and prop nut specific to the Bravo Two series; the Solas prop is compatible with Mercury’s OEM hardware for mounting. Compared to stainless steel props, this aluminum Solas offers a lower cost and a form of drivetrain protection (the aluminum blades will absorb impact, potentially sacrificing themselves to save the gearcase). For most recreational and commercial applications, this propeller provides the necessary power and dependability you need.

• Ideal for heavy boats and yachts – delivers the thrust needed for large mass vessels (such as 25–35 ft boats), allowing them to confidently get on plane and maintain cruising speeds
• A must for twin-engine setups – left-hand rotation is intended for the port drive in a twin Bravo 2 configuration, helping the boat track straight and handle easily without veering due to engine torque
• Powerful acceleration and control – the huge diameter means the prop “grabs” a large volume of water each revolution, improving low-speed maneuverability (e.g., docking) and efficiency when pushing against strong currents or waves
• Durable aluminum construction – made from high-quality aluminum, the prop resists corrosion (with factory protective coating) and is engineered so that in the event of a severe strike, the blades are more likely to fail before major damage occurs to the drive (a protective feature)
• Cost-effective OEM replacement – delivers performance comparable to Mercury’s original Black Diamond/Bravo Two props (e.g., replaces Mercury P/N 48-18611A40) but at a more affordable price, and it installs easily on the existing 19-spline Bravo 2 shaft using standard Mercury hardware
