Iboats is the only place I would go to buy another prop, made it very easy and simple to figure out which prop was right for my boat. Price was lower than other places I looked, shipping was fast and the prop is great quality!

I bought my 19ft Center Console about a year ago and always had trouble getting on plane. The boat is rated for 8 people but if I had 6 the engine wouldn't have enough power to plane. I planned to buy a 150 Yamaha and get rid of my 115. I saw this 4 blade prop on Youtube and the video said that these provide more power and help get on plane quicker. I decided to purchase one for the outside chance I would not need to replace my engine. I installed the prop today and took the boat out for a test run. I couldn't believe the power the engine had! We were on plane in mere seconds! I am so glad I made this purchase. It literately saved me thousands of dollars! FYI - I was running a stainless 3 prop 17" pitch and switched to this 4 blade 15" pitch. I lost about 4 mph but the tradeoff is well worth it. Thank YOU!

I chose to go from my original SS 14x17 to a 14.75x18 pitch and got an increase of 3 MPH. Hole shot is better also and only lowered my RPM at WOT by 1,500. Shipping was fast and the product is well made. A good purchase for me and worth the money I paid.

I was disappointed tat Solas changed the part but did not change the part number. I ordered the same part number I did a couple of years back and at installation found it no longer works on my Honda BF90. Marci was very good in chasing down the problem and arranging a return. I have sent it back and hope everything goes well and the refund is issues soon.

Replaced original aluminum 3 blade prop 24" pitch with this stainless steel 4 blade 19" pitch. I have a SeaRay 19' with a 195HP Mercruiser I/O and the boat feels like "a new boat". Getting to planing is almost instant. Pulling people up on water skis is a lot easier. I may have suffered 2-3MPH in top speed from 48 to 45 MPH, but the boat is much smoother and much stronger pull. Fantastic upgrade for the boat for very little money relatively speaking.

Took the plunge and bought this prop to replace my OEM aluminum 14.25x21 prop and couldn't be happier with the results. My boat gets on plane faster, cruises more efficiently, accalerates harder and gained about 3mph on top speed. This is my first stainless prop and I'm very pleased with how it performs. Also very happy with Iboats in every way. Great price with fast and very reasonable shipping.

I ordered this propeller at a great low price paid extra for two day air. There was a delay so I called customer service to ask about the holdup they told me it was on backorder so it didn’t ship until a week after I ordered it. They apologized, gladly refunded my shipping shipped it to me at their cost. Can’t be more please with the propeller the great customer service!

I installed this on my 07 bayliner discovery 192 Cuddy to replace the old factory aluminum prop. I originally was only getting 4200 WOT rpm on the stock 19 pitch prop and recommended WOT range is 4400 to 4800 on the 3.0L mercruiser. This prop solved my issue now it gets to 4600 rpm and like most 4 blade props has good holeshot even though the boat is severely underpowered to begin with. This prop does come with all hardware to install except the nut so no real need to order all the hardware iboats recommends. This was my first purchase from iboats and I’m impressed shipping was fast and price was great.

I used the prop finder on the iboats website to order my new prop. Not knowing that when you go from a 3 blade prop to a 4 blade prop you are suppose to drop the pitch by one. I realized my mistake after the prop was delivered. I contacted customer service and Skye was terrific! I was issued a return number and ordered the new prop as well. It is best to talk with a specialist when ordering to answer all your questions. Love my new prop! Note: Do not mount or use prop in anyway! Any scratches can cause your return to be denied. Use caution! The correct new prop looks great and worked magnificent!

To be honest. buying propeller can be expensive. Having 2 props already, I ask around for some advise. I then decided to go to my local prop shop (they repair and supply) and speak with him about my concern , well. This is how it went.I have a 24ft center console with a 225 Yamaha 2 stroke. The prop on the motor really wasn't getting me anywhere. It also caused a large wake or mound of water behind my boat.(19"). so my prop guy lent me a Yamaha Salt water series II. (21''). Well, that gave me a slow hole shot but top end was awesome. the problem was the wake, not getting out of the hole, and with passengers, almost impossible. I had another talk with my prop guy and he suggested a 4 blade prop. (18''). So, I took the plunge and I my third prop, this was the end result. Quick hole shot, quicker to get up to speed, 100% improvement there but, I lost 4 to 5 MPH. To tell you the truth, it was worth it. I am very happy with this proformance of this prop. I like it for sure! a prop for one, is not alsways a prop for all. It takes time, patience, and experimentation. Was worth it for sure. Love it!

Prop was delivered quickly and actually ahead of schedule. Put it on with new hardware set I bought which were all different than the Renegade prop I took off, which concerned me. The fit was very tight and I had to turn the nut down to as far as it would go to allow movement of the prop to get the cotter pin in it. Was a bit concerned about the tight fit but it works fine and I am very happy with the performance of the prop.

I got this prop due to the underwhelming performance of the original aluminum prop. With the Solas' increased rake and cupping, the boat went from 47 to 52 mph. The RPM just a tad high, but the boat was very lightly loaded. So with more people and fuel, the RPM should be right where I want it to be. I expect this prop will be my all around use prop next summer.

I purchased this prop to replace the factory prop on a 250 HP Yamaha which was a 3 blade 17 pitch. In reading about replacing a 3 blade with a 4 blade prop, it was recommended that I decrease the pitch by 1 and diameter was not a major factor. One objectives for me was to gain a few MPH top speed. I dropped from 50 MPH top speed to 47 top speed (GPS). Another goal I was trying to achieve was reduce the vibration caused by my 3 blade prop. This prop did that very well. I should have ordered a 4 blade with an 18" pitch and a 15"+ diameter. Loss of top speed is my only complaint but this should not have been the outcome.

I recently purchased a Solas HR Titan 3 blade 14.75 x 16 prop for my shallow water boat. My boat is powered by a 2017 150HO Etech. I looked at all information on prop prior to purchasing and found no information showing that it was not suitable for cupping or shallow water performance. We fish lower laguna madre mostly in 14 to 16 inches of water, usually soft mud or sand bottom. As with every new prop we or anyone fishing this area purchases, it is taken to a professional to add cupping for shallow water. Prop was installed on motor after cupping and used the next few days. Great performance the first couple of days days but noticed on the 3rd day it was loosing its bite on water struggling to get hole shot and I could not run motor with jack plate up. Pulled boat out of water to find a 1/4 of one of the blades had snapped off. It did not hit or come into contact with anything. Sure there may be obstructions in water but it pretty apparent when you come into contact with something in shallow water. There are no oyster beds in the area nor really anything to come into contact with in the areas we were. Other 2 blades were perfectly fine, no dings or damage anywhere on remaining blades. I took prop back to prop shop to learn the stainless steel is poor quality compared to all others he had in shop. It was brittle once heat was applied where others were not. Prop could not be repaired being the steel would not hold the weld. This prop specialist is used by about every fisherman on the coast and I've used him for over 20 years. Seen him repair, rebuild and cup damaged props more than you can imagine. This is the first "break" I've had and because of quality it was not repairable. I contacted Solas to have them tell me that they were not sure what happened but they could not warranty it and maybe I should buy a different model of Solas prop to see if I have better luck. After seeing Solas Titan model put up against other brands in the custom shop I do believe it is of low quality steel and can not handle the heat that's required to cup a prop for shallow water performance. I believe it is a responsibility of Solas to include this in their information regarding their product being that every shallow water/tunnel boat whether it be Shallow Sport, Kenner, Bluewave, Shoalwater or Predator requires cupped props for performance. I purchased another brand prop and had it cupped with no issues whatsoever. I would not recommend this product to anyone fishing coastal waters that require cupping on props.

Update to my last review on this product. After taking with the Solas rep, and with iBoats customer service, they agreed to allow me to exchange the previous prop suspecting it may have come bent/out of balance. I installed the new prop and it still makes the knocking noise. I've searched all over the web and have spoken with a couple boat mechanics and the best explanation that I got was that it is called "ratcheting" and is caused by the weight of the stainless causing the clutches to knock/chatter. Basically, it's just too heavy and the heavier prop spins faster knocking against the inner workings of the lower unit. It is LOUD obnoxiously loud to the point where you can barely hear a person talking at the front of the boat when at the helm. My boat sounds like a jalopy coming down the waterway at low speed. (Noise goes away at higher RPM's. Today, I ordered the aluminum Solas 3413-138-15 prop and will just deal with replacing it every few years if it gets chewed up. I'll try to sell this one on Craigslist to salvage some of my investment.

I bought this nice solas 23 pitch prop hoping it would be enough and it wasn't. It will make a nice spare or I can resell it! This prop fit perfectly and performed properly. No complaints. Iy came well packed with fast shipping! I repowered my boat with a suzuki 115 4stroke. For the last 20 years I ran a 115 evinrude with a 23 four blade prop. Nobody makes a 4 blade for the suzuki yet in the pitch I need. I need a 24 pitch 4 blade to tame this new motor. I have a 25 pitch 3 blade solas on the way and I fear it may not be enough to tame this powerful new 4 stroke.

This prop runs perfectly on my ShallowSport 24v with a Yamaha SHO 250. Great out of the hole, no cavitation at any angle and runs the boat 45 MPH. This is the second boat I have had on which a Solas Prop was the perfect fit (albeit a different prop). I have used them for years and highly recommend Solas. Just do some research before buying to ensure that you are buying the right size, pitch and rake for your boat. Solas can tell you what experience boaters have had with each of their props.

I have a 2013 Suzuki 70hp 4 stroke - iBoats recommended this propeller as a replacement for the factory. I installed it immediately and put the boat in the water but while trying to back it off the trailer I heard a horrible knocking noise. I went away while in neutral but forward/reverse caused the loud knocking. I double checked the nut/install and it was tight/fine. I replace it with the old prop and put the boat in the water - no noise. I've found an article by another customer but I can't post the URL here so just google "New stainless prop causing "knocking" and it will be the first result. I checked the return policy on the website and found that if installed/used it isn't able to be returned. "Once the propeller touches the water it is considered used and is non-returnable. Returned propellers are subject to a 15% restock fee." I'll be calling them on Monday to try to resolve the issue I really want to make the prop work and I don't want to take a bath on the purchase.

Replaced OEM prop from Volvo Penta with this. It does have a improved performance at the hole shot and at high speeds. The boat seams to run smother which tells me less cavitation. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is at crusing speeds I need to run 300 + more RPM to get same speed. So the at mid speeds I seem to have lost some there. Need more time on to really tell.

Purchased a used 150 hp 18' Basscat that was having difficulty coming on plane. It was equipped with a 14" dia X 23" Pitch prop. Tried a couple of lower pitch alum props and selected the Solas Titan 4 Blade SS 14" x 20" pitch. Quality and fit appear excellent, hole shot has improved dramatically, top speed dropped a little which was a fair trade. In retrospect I would select a 19" pitch which has nothing to do with the quality of this prop. Good Purchase, would recommend Solas and Iboats.

I fish on a sound where the water is very shallow. Unexpected shoals pop up quickly, resulting in a frequently grounded prop. My aluminum prop was badly worn and nicked after two trips out. After two trips with my new stainless prop, it looks as good as new.

Couldn't be happier, should have done this years ago. I was doing some regular service, changing the impeller and since my old aluminum prop was a bit nicked up figured I might as well get a new prop. Did quite a bit of research trying to figure out the best choice of pitch for my boat and typical usage - 18' Bayliner w 3.0 Merc. Original prop was a 21" pitch. Top speed went up about 6-7mph, it pulls out of the hole much smoother and at least as strong as the old prop. I was really surprised at the improvement, used a gps speedometer as well as my son on his jetski to pace me. Very satisfied

I bought this 14x20 hr Titan 4 blade thinking I had selected the "right" prop for my boating application. Previous prop was a basic 14 1/8"x21" 3 blade aluminum prop with no cupping at all. I selected poorly, and only after I realized this did I check the return policy. No exchange or return if its touched the water. I cannot fault iboats for my mistake, which is why I rated this at 4 stars. After I went local and worked out a deal to trade for the same prop with less pitch, I am very pleased with it. In the future, I will keep my business local for prop purchases where they offer a prop exchange program.

2006 Chaparral 210 SSI, 5.0 GXI Volvo Penta. Purchased Used 10/2014. Very hard to rate for the following reasons: - Prop has pressed in Hub, requires no Hub Kit. - Assumed prop on Boat was Factory Prop. Replaced Prop, took to lake with 5 passengers. Boat wallowed like a beached whale on take off,every time. SLOW. - Around 4500 RPM a little under WOT boat ran Great! Speed around 45 MPH GPS. - However, turning at speed, boat slowed considerably. Too much. - At home, removed prop, removed prop bushing, removed grease, looked up numbers on part, bushing was for mercury prop. - Prop was seated too low on bushing, and ground into the bearing housing. - Called Solas, (great customer service) was told that fixed hub props are made to be used with original prop bushing, which on Volvo is a significantly thicker bushing. Bushing from volvo...out of sight price!! - ordered alum. solas 4 blade w/hub kit to get through summer. Ran fine, but still looking for perfect prop for boat. - If I find a volvo bushing at a reasonable price, I will try prop again!

This Solas replaced the OEM Yamaha 17 pitch 3-blade SWS SDS prop on a Yam F300 OB pushing a Robalo R247. My goals for the new prop were to to reduce ventilation in 'sharp' turns and improve fuel efficiency through more rpms at cruising speed without sacrificing smooth shifting of the Yammy. I would say this prop is moderately successful on all counts. The Solas prop certainly grips better in turns and shifts about as smoothly as the Yammie. I have not done rigorousness A/B testing with identical loads and trim under identical conditions, but according to Command Link readings and my subjective 'feel' for conditions I estimate about 4-5% better fuel economy from spinning an extra 200 RPM at most boat speeds. This perceived efficiency improvement after only 20 hours is not dramatic but enough to earn 4+ Stars toward my objectives. The new prop was not expensive, appeared flawless, and installed easily with the extra hardware kit. The only unknown from this point -- for me -- is durability.

After mounting this prop there is next to no vibration through my 1998 motor. My bass boat has a better response with this 4 blade propeller with improved smoothness out of the shoot and smoother acceleration. I suspect it may even improve my fuel efficiency throughout all speed ranges but can't be 100% SURE YET. GREAT PROP AT A GREAT PRICE.

I replaced a 14X19 aluminum 3 blade prop on my 1996 2-stroke Johnson motor with the 4 blade 13x17 Solas prop and Wow did it make a difference. The boat comes out of hole real well and hit a better top speed with 5 people in the boat. 38 MPH with 5 people in the boat. The service from iBoats.com was excellent.

The propeller I purchased works very well. Faster lifting my boat onto plane, and increased too end speed a little too. I was more impressed with iboat.com customer service!!!! I had made a mistake first time and ordered a 15 spline prop on accident instead of a 13. I believe I dealt with a gal named Shelby, and she was great! Called and spoke with her and in minutes, she had my order fixed and correct prop on it's way up to me in canada! I will recommend this product and this company from now on!!! Thanks, Matt Pierson

iboats prop selection tool does not differentiate between regular hubs and sds hubs. I ordered what their tool told me I needed for an F200 Yamaha and promptly received the incorrect prop. They do not carry sds hubs. Needless to say the return shipping was on me. Not happy

We were looking for a propeller that would give us a little more mid rang speed at 3500 RPM . Since thats where we used the boat the most of the time . The Honda 200 gives such great fuel millage OR gal per hr. used It was great before about .( now with more stern lift ) its even better 3500 rpm at 25.7 knots cruise . And that engine not even working on my 21 Sea Chaser the haul is great for a lite cruiser 25 to 40 mph. and plains very easy Fuel down to 3 to 3.5 gal per hr. NOW hell my lawn mower uses more . Your shipping was very fast and the Solas 4 blade does the job . Better handling , back up , better ride , more of the boat out of the water

This propeller performs as advertised, better whole shot, lower RPM, faster idling speed and better fuel economy. Although this propeller was on the lower end of pricing for a four blade stainless prop I feel it was a good economical choice.

Put on a 17' Skeeter bass boat with a 200 hp Johnson. Replaced a 14 1/4 x 21 OMC SST prop that was damaged. Boat now has a little less hole shot and is slower to plane. Mid and top range bite and acceleration are improved. Much heavier made prop than the OMC was. Overall a quality product at a great price!

I had the factory 14 1/4x 17 3 blade prop on my 150hp Yamaha but it ate too many rocks. After much research, this one caught my eye. I installed this 4 blade 14.25x17 on the boat and wow what an improvement. Lost maybe 2-3 mph at WOT so now it does 40mph instead of 43(who cares). The whole shot, getting on plane, and turning is leagues better. If you have a Hurricane deck boat, this is definitely the prop for you.

Went back to a 3-blade stainless steel prop from a 4-blade aluminum and the handling, speed, acceleration jumped. While the aluminum's might save a little money, the performance jump and removal of cavitation with stainless makes the extra money worth every penny.

I bought the stainless prop to replace my aluminum prop. My aluminum prop was a Solas that had 14.5 degrees of pitch. The recommended replacement stainless prop comes in 14 degrees of pitch. This 1/2 degree of pitch resulted in the engine rpm rising about 500 rpm's and losing about 5 mph of top end speed. This is no major issue but I wanted to share with everyone so that you would know that it does have a noticeable difference.

I WOULD NOT BUY A THING FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN! Their statement of "We're here to help! We understand that sometimes a product you purchase just doesn't work out, which is why we want to make the return process as easy as possible for you. After all, we want you to be satisfied with your order so you'll return again and again as an iboats.com customer, and to also recommend us to your boating friends." could not be farther from the truth. Their stance on propellers returns/exchanges is ridiculous. They are not willing to exchange, they hide behind their computers and have not been willing to do anything but say "sorry". Not a very good approach to helping customers find the correct fit to their needs. Obviously only interested in the bottom line - getting your dollar in their pocket. BE WARNED - you are going to get what you pay for - You get Cheap prices, but you also get a cheap company that will not be there to help when your purchase isn't correct!!

I own a 2005 Maxum 1800mx which i have had since new. The stock prop on the 135hp stern drive with Alpha One Drive has performed Ok, but it would have real bad cavitation when in the open sea or pulling wake boarders or tubers. Turn in was not that strong or smooth. I purchased this new prop with the same pitch and diameter (.25 inch smaller) but with 4 blades instead of 3 on the stock prop. Conclusion Cavitation is completely gone!! :) Turn in, is way smoother and the ride and handling is so controlled. Up on plane the same but better (smooth), top speed close to the same maybe a little slower but you can go faster longer due to the added control. I would highly recommend this prop for all around performance (which is really what every boater needs ) iboats recommended that i also purchase the thrust washer (which I did) sure glad i did as the old one is stuck on the old prop (make sure you buy it!!) The final benefit, IT LOOKS REAL COOL!!!!

Used the prop selector went with a 19p boat had 17p. Way too much prop boat can't even plane. Since prop was used for about an hour before switching can't get a refund so now out $300.00 going to try and sell hopefully get 150.00. Found a prop dealer on Walleye Central who will let you test a prop before buying going to give that a try wish I would have found him earlier and save some money. Chatted on line with him for my boat suggests 15p or 16p for best performance, Iboats suggested 19p.

The prop has been exceptional. A huge difference from the 14 x 17" pitch 3 blade aluminum that came with the motor. The prop lifts the stern up and gets the boat onto the plane a lot faster. Great for my skiing. I have lost 2 MPH off top end but I expected that coming down in Pitch. Very well made.

I ordered this prop to replace the original aluminum one on my 2008 Monterey 220, equipped with a Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi-G and an SX-A outdrive. The prop arrived on time and in perfect condition. I elected to keep the same pitch as the orignial prop on my boat, but in order to do that, I had to increase the diameter of the replacement as the original aluminum prop was a 14.5 x 19. Increasing the diameter did not present any issues and the new prop installed with ease. Aside from the fact that it looks great with the new prop, the boat comes out the hole much quicker, and gets up on place much faster. I would recommend this prop to anyone with a similar boat/engine/outdrive combination.

Purchased for 2007 Bayliner 175 3.0 liter Mercrusier. Prop is very smooth. Gets boat on plane very quick now. Not much change in top end speed. Kept WOT within normal operating range. Turning is cleaner and smoother. Because this is a higher rake prop than original aluminum, you will have to replace the anode/trim tab with new offset tab (available from this reseller). Service and delivery was outstanding. Thanks and expect more business from this happy customer.

I used this prop on a Mercury 200hp motor. Out of the box the hole shot is terrible. Mid range crusing is great. I needed to take it to a prop shop, and have ventilation holes drilled, which has improved the hole shot. Props are not returnable, so I would recommend going to a local prop shop, and trying before buying.

I bought this prop installed it on my boat. went out and boat would not get on plane call and the response I received was it is used and you own it. I have since spent 220.00 on this 299.00 propeller and still won't get my boat on plane so I basically have a boat anchor and will have to purchase another propeller. I know this review is not suppose tocomment on Iboats service and that would be hard to do because there is none.

I needed a new propeller as the one I was currently using had been damaged. I went to iBoat used their resource to find the right pitch for my boat. I purchased the Solas HR Titan 4 Blade Stainless 14" dia. X 21" pitch SR. I was looking for a prop to increase my hole shot. Well much to my surprise it did preform that task remarkably well but I noticed that it also reduced the RPM by 400RPM at 25MPH so I am getting increase fuel economy.

I'm rating this as a 5 although my husband hasn't been able to try out the new prop yet. The rating is based on his reaction when he opened this gift from me to him on Christmas Eve. He was unable to hide his tears, he was totally surprised! He's been wanting a stainless prop for a very long time. The Columbia Willamette Rivers in Oregon are high and dirty with lots of branches and floating hazards just under the surface, so once the waters clear, we will have a valid evaluation of how satisfied he is with the Solas Prop.

I'm still amazed how fast from the time I ordered the prop, just a few days before Christmas, and the time it arrived at my door. I think it was less than 2 days. With all the Christmas shipping I figured it would be a couple of weeks. I've installed the prop but haven't used it yet and the way the weather is looking it may be a while. With all the help from such a friendly web site I feel confident that it will work great. Buying from IBoats.com was great, the best. AAAAA+++++

I had hoped to be able to bring my WOT rpm up to the suggested operating range and to improve the handling and decrease ventilation in cornering that I had been experiencing with the standard Mercury prop. This prop has FAR exceeded my expectations! Going from the original Mercury Black Max 15" x 17 pitch aluminum to the HR Titan stainless 14.75" x 16" pitch brought the rpm up by about 500, exactly where I need to be. Handling is awesome. Before, if I wanted to do hard S-curves, I had to trim down and cut the throttle or it would over-rev. Power loss was a big problem as well. This prop allows me to hit those curves without trimming down and with minimal power loss. Thanks Solas for saving me from wanting to buy a new boat.
