This Solas outboard propeller from the Amita 3 series is a 3-blade aluminum propeller for smaller outboard motors. This variant has a diameter of 7.8", a pitch of 9", and a 12-spline shaft connection. The propeller features right-hand rotation and manufacturer number 5011-078-09.
The Amita 3 is designed with a fixed, pressed-in rubber hub and through-hub exhaust. The traditional fixed hub means that no separate interchangeable hub kit is required. The engine's original propeller nut, washers, cotter pin, and other mounting parts must be checked and used in accordance with the engine manual.
The propeller is manufactured from aluminum using squeeze-casting, which reduces material porosity and contributes to strong propeller blades. The aluminum surface has a four-layer coating with high corrosion resistance and has been tested for more than 500 hours in a salt spray test. The 3-blade design is developed to provide a combination of acceleration and top speed.
The variant-specific engine specification is 4/6 hp 4-stroke from 2011. The manufacturer number is also documented for Mercury/Mariner 4 hp 4-stroke from 1999, 4 and 5 hp 2-stroke from 1987, as well as 6 hp 4-stroke from 1999. For Tohatsu/Nissan, documented applications include MFS4, MFS5, and MFS6 4-stroke, as well as M5B 2-stroke. The engine must have a 12-spline propeller shaft and through-hub exhaust.
The propeller cross-references to Mercury/Mariner OEM no. 48-812950A03 and BRP/Evinrude/Johnson OEM no. 766542. The correct pitch must be selected based on the engine model, gear ratio, boat type, and normal load so that the engine operates within the recommended RPM range at full throttle.
Always check the engine/drive model, shaft connection, and original part number before purchasing.
