Solas Amita 4 Aluminum 4-Blade Propeller 11.8x9 for Suzuki 35-65 HP

The Solas Amita 4 11.8x9 is a four-blade aluminum propeller designed for Suzuki 35-65 HP outboards when you need extra thrust and control. With its four blades and lower pitch, this prop provides exceptional grip in the water and instant acceleration – perfect for pulling water skiers, wakeboards, inflatable tubes, or handling a heavier boat. Solas’s squeeze-cast technology ensures a robust build and resistance to wear, so the prop delivers reliable performance even under tougher conditions. With a diameter of 11.8″ and a 9″ pitch, this Amita 4 model allows the engine to spin up into its power band more easily, which benefits motors that struggle with higher-pitch props. The result is faster planing and improved boat handling at low to mid speeds.

Key applications and recommendations:

• Heavy Boats & Loaded Conditions: This 9″ pitch prop excels on boats carrying multiple passengers or gear, as well as on pontoons and workboats. It enables a 35-65 HP engine to maintain optimal power under load without bogging down, ensuring the motor isn’t over-stressed when pushing weight.
• Water Sports: If you plan to tow water skiers, wakeboards, or tubes, the four-blade Solas Amita 4 11.8x9 will provide the necessary pulling power and stability. Your boat will stay on plane more easily through varying speeds, and handling remains predictable during sharp turns – a big plus for driver confidence during water sports.
• Improved Boat Handling: The extra blade reduces prop slip in the water, meaning better control when maneuvering at the marina or in tight quarters. It also translates to less vibration and noise during operation, making for a smoother ride overall.
• Compatibility: Specifically crafted for the 13-spline hubs of Suzuki 40-65 HP outboards (e.g., the popular DF40/50/60 series). It’s also compatible with equivalent Evinrude/Johnson engines in this class, making the prop a versatile solution across brands sharing that hub size.
• Boat Length: Recommended for boats roughly in the 4.5–6 m range, especially if they are on the heavier side or have higher hull resistance that demands more force to plane. For example, aluminum fishing boats with consoles, larger open runabouts, or rescue/work boats can all benefit from this propeller for improved low-end dynamics and overall performance.
