The SOLAS Amita 3 10.1x13 is a higher-pitch option in this propeller line, aimed at providing greater top-end speed under the right conditions. It’s an excellent choice for lighter or faster boats with Johnson/Evinrude 20-35 HP engines that can achieve the necessary RPM with a 13-inch pitch. A higher pitch means the boat travels a greater distance with each rotation of the propeller, increasing speed – as long as the motor has enough power and the boat isn’t excessively burdened.
Like the other props in the series, the SOLAS Amita 3 10.1x13 is made of high-density aluminum thanks to the squeeze-casting process. This gives it the needed strength, even with the finer blade angle characteristic of higher-pitch props. The surface is finished to resist corrosion, protecting the prop during use in saltwater environments. When matched with the right boat and load, this propeller efficiently turns engine power into speed, while still retaining reasonable acceleration off the line.
Use Cases & Recommendations:
- Suitable for light, speed-oriented boats (3–4.5 m) – e.g., small speedboats or minimally loaded fishing boats with 25-30 HP engines that aim for higher velocity on the water
- Higher pitch = higher speed: The 13″ pitch allows your engine to run at lower RPM for a given cruising speed, which can reduce fuel consumption and engine wear on long runs
- Note: Not recommended for heavily loaded boats – if your boat often carries substantial weight or struggles to reach RPM, you’re better off with a lower pitch prop (e.g., 11″ or 12″) to avoid lugging the engine
- Easy swap & tuning: This prop uses the same 14-spline hub as other Amita 3 props for 20-35 HP, making it simple to experiment with different pitches. It can also be used on equivalent Evinrude/Johnson 25-35 HP 4-stroke models and some older OMC engines, giving you flexibility in dialing in your boat’s performance
