Solas Propellers has been in business since 1985 and produce aluminum props and stainless steel boat propellers for outboard motors and sterndrive boats. They also make impellers for personal watercraft. They constantly strive for improvement thru an outstanding research and development team that does all aspects of R & D including a huge amount of testing of their propellers on boats in the water. Solas uses a squeeze casting process to produce aluminum propellers that are stronger and more durable than the old traditional casting process other boat prop companies are still using today. Solas props have four coats of paint on them which ensures their propellers have excellent anti-corrosion quality. Solas stainless steel propellers have the highest amount of chromium, nickle and molybdenum for resisting rust than any other propeller maker.
Solas offers two lines of boat propellers that have the same blade designs, diameters and pitches but the hubs are different. Solas Amita propellers have a rubber cushioned hub installed at the manufacturer so all you need to do is slide it on the propeller shaft and secure it using the prop hardware that you already have. This is the simplest and most popular hub system. Solas Rubex propellers, like alot of other propeller makers are doing now, need a hub kit to be put in them by the boat owner and they are sold seperatly. They are not any cheaper than the Amita one piece props and you have to learn how to and take the time to install the hub parts yourself which a lot of boat owners do not care to do. The Solas one piece Amita line of boat props easier and more popular than the Rubex line but both are excellent propellers. To make it easier to find the right prop we’ve added a prop finder to each of our engine series propeller sections click the link to the engine type you have to order: Solas Mercury – Mercruiser propellers , Solas Yamaha propeller , Solas Evinrude – Johnson , Solas Suzuki prop , Solas Honda props , Solas Volvo Penta propellers and Solas Nissan – Tohatsu boat propellers
