This Stainless Steel Duoprop Propeller Set Type C from SOLAS is model C6 for Volvo Penta DP 280 and DP 290. The complete set consists of a front and a rear propeller and serves as a compatible replacement set for the original C6 configuration with OEM reference 3857497.
The propellers are manufactured from stainless steel and feature three blades on both the front and rear propellers. The counter-rotating propellers consist of a left-hand rotation front propeller and a right-hand rotation rear propeller. The design is developed for high thrust, higher speed, and rapid acceleration, while the stainless steel provides excellent resistance to impact, cavitation, and corrosion.
C6 is intended for Volvo Penta Duoprop systems with DP 280 or DP 290 drives and must be used as a matching C6 set. Front and rear propellers with different size codes must not be combined on the same drive. The choice should be based on the existing propeller marking, a propeller calculation, or a verified drive and boat configuration.
Replaces OEM numbers
The complete C6 set has OEM reference 3857497, which has subsequently been superseded by 3588226. The historical set number is 854856. The front propeller cross-references to 3857463 and 3587868 as well as the historical numbers 854868 and 854374. The rear propeller cross-references to 3857467 and 3587874 as well as the historical number 854872.
Mounting parts such as propeller nut, thrust washers, propeller cone, and tools are not documented as included. Any necessary OEM mounting parts depend on the specific design of the drive, and installation must be performed according to the drive manufacturer's instructions.
Always check the drive model, existing propeller marking, and original part number before purchasing.
