This Solas 3-blade stainless steel propeller with interchangeable Rubex hub is a Rubex NS3 model in size 14 x 19" with right-hand rotation. The propeller is designed for outboard motors and sterndrives when used with the correct brand- and model-specific Rubex hub kit.
The size specification 14 x 19" indicates a diameter of 14" (355.6 mm) and a pitch of 19" (482.6 mm). The pitch represents the propeller's theoretical forward travel per revolution; the actual distance is affected by factors such as slip, boat weight, and water conditions. This variant features three blades, right-hand/standard rotation, and through-hub exhaust.
The Rubex NS3 series is designed for all-round use with a large blade area and good acceleration. The propeller is precision-cast from stainless steel and features a design that contributes to stable propeller blades and durability in saltwater environments. The specific alloy designation is not specified.
The interchangeable Rubex/RBX hub system allows the propeller body to be used with different engine systems by selecting the correct hub kit. The hub kit is not included and must be purchased separately. For the documented Suzuki configuration, item no. 52.537.05, corresponding to Solas RBX-104, is used with 15 splines and a 4-3/4" gearcase.
Compatibility
With hub kit 52.537.05, the propeller is documented for Suzuki 150-225 hp in 2-stroke and 4-stroke configurations, as well as Evinrude/Johnson 150-225 hp 4-stroke.
