This SOLAS aluminum Duoprop propeller set type B in variant B5 is a complete, matching set with a front and a rear propeller for Volvo Penta Aquamatic DP 280 and DP 290 sterndrives. The propellers are designed for petrol and diesel engines and have a thin blade profile.
The set is counter-rotating. The front propeller has 3 blades, left-hand rotation and 27 splines, while the rear propeller has 4 blades, right-hand rotation and 19 splines. Both propellers feature a pressed-in rubber hub and must be used together as the proven B5 combination.
The front propeller measures 15.3″ in diameter with a 19″ pitch and has manufacturer no. 8512-153-19. The rear propeller measures 13.75″ in diameter with a 21″ pitch and has manufacturer no. 8513-138-21. The aluminum propellers are manufactured using a squeeze casting process, which results in a dense structure with low porosity, and the components feature a four-layer anti-corrosion coating.
The B5 set corresponds to Volvo Penta OEM reference 854818. The associated OEM references are 854826 for the front propeller and 854834 for the rear propeller. Type A, B, and J propellers must not be mixed, and the front and rear propeller must have the correctly matching type and size. For twin-drive installations, the same combination must be used on both drives.
Installation is carried out using correct OEM hardware and may require special tools. The choice between M16 and M20 cone systems depends on the drive's propeller shaft, and the shaft version must therefore be identified before selecting mounting parts. Always follow the drive's installation manual and torque specifications.
