Super surprised on how quick the order was filled, shipped and delivered. I inspected the prop and associated parts and am very pleased. I have the motor off the boat now so it will be a short period of time till I make use of the prop. I know it will perform just like the service I recieved. Solas is " bragged on" by my family and friends. Thank you very much I Boats!!

iBoats had the prop I needed and at an excellent price. After placing my order the prop was shipped the next day and I received it on time. The experience of purchasing through iBoats went very smooth. I will definitely us iBOATS as my go-to website when needing a part for my boat. Thank you!

The review is for iBoats customer service, not the prop itself. Make sure you have the exact size prop you need. Trying to return this was a huge hassle and it’s still not over. Trying to get iBoats customer service to answer their phone or respond to your emails is near impossible.

I review everything and take my time buying. This is an awesome low cost prop. Hub system worked as it should and had no problems. Installed and ran the boat hard all day pulling multiple tubes. Gained around 600 rpm WOT trimmed out going from a 19 pitch to this 17. Also gained top speed. 15 pitch is in the mail. Need more holeshot lol. Don’t hesitate to buy.

Propeller reviewed on Sep 22nd, 2017
My boat came up on plain faster. I was able to trim out her. I am able to turn sharper without prop lousing thrust. Top speed increased by four MPH. The only problem I have is motor RPM is 500 rpm to low. This is not the prop fault I need a lower pitch. I am well pleased with the performance of my boat even though I am lugging the motor. The Rubex 2-piece propeller is nice. If a pressed in hub slips you have to send the prop to a repair shop to have a new hub pressed in. The Rubex 2-piece propeller allows you to replace the hub yourself.

My old prop had rock damage so I called I Boats customer service and gave them the numbers off the old prop and they were very nice and fixed me up with the same standard prop. I also purchased the Hub Kit for Force 40~75Hp C Ser RBX-114. I have only had the boat in the water once since but every thing is great for now.

I was in a jam, needed a prop quickly and iboats came through just in time to save my weekend. However, the prop turned out to be bigger than stock, requiring that I remove the trim fin for it to work which was a nuisance. Also because it is bigger I don't get the acceleration I used to. So I am disappointed in the one size fits all part, not in the service provided

Propeller reviewed on Jul 19th, 2016
I bought this for my 25 foot pontoon boat powered by an Evinrude E-115. I'm sure SS is a better prop but for a pontoon boat I figured it was like putting lipstick on a pig. Pretty lipstick, but still a pig! I just wanted something that would help with the slipping a little for when I pull the grand kids on floats. It has made a huge difference over the factory Evinrude prop. I can go full throttle with a max turn now with no slippage.

After running about three hours, I can tell no difference between this propeller and the original propeller for my Mercury Bigfoot 60. Which makes this an excellent propeller! Installation was a snap!

This is the second propeller I purchased and this one arrived damaged. The box is in perfect shape so I suspect the propeller was packaged that way at the factory. Unfortunately I need the prop now and the iboats return process is slow and will take 2 to 3 business days to get an RMA then I will need to wait another week before I see another.

My problem is not with the propellor, it is well made. However, the iboats return policy makes it impossible to return a propeller that does not work for you. If you replacing an existing propeller exactly, this would be a great option. But if you are looking for a change, don't buy here.

I didn't realize how bad my old prop was till I got the new prop in and was able to compare them. The old prop I knew was bent and that was the reason I was replacing it. Very pleased with the price and shipping cost. I will keep Iboats in mind when looking for boat parts.

Propeller reviewed on Aug 28th, 2015
Being new to boating I did the big no-no, I dug a trench in the shallow lake bed with my prop which destroyed it! I decided since I'm replacing it to lower the pitch from 23 to 21 in the process. Being less than exactly sure what the result would be I elected to purchase the least expensive prop I could buy. That said, the lowered pitch helps the 18' 4.3L Mercruiser bowrider sport/ski boat up on the plane a little bit quicker and easier. The prop itself seems to be running out just fine. No problems at all. mounting was as simple as could be. 55 ft/lbs of torque on the prop shaft locking nut and I was on the way to the lake. At this reasonable price, I plan to purchase the Solas 4-blade prop soon and experiment with the differences as related to pulling towable floats and such. No regrets! This product is performing well. Thanks iboats for the great selection and best price including shipping.

Propeller reviewed on Aug 25th, 2015
I contacted iboats and inquired if the hub from a Solas prop is the same one as used with OEM props on Mercury Alpha 1 outdrive. After verification I was informed Mercury puts Solas props on from the factory. This means my original hub, that had no damage, was able to be re-used and saved me the cost of purchasing a new one. Thank you. As for the prop,,, it's amazing on how just a little nick here and there can throw off the balance even just above idle. This prop restored by boats original performance and really smoothed out the ride. Buy one for a spare.

iboats offered the best price including shipping. This prop is made in China. It included the mounting hub kit. The rubber cushined hub is working perfectly. The prop and mounting hub kit all fit perfectly. No issues. I put this prop on an 18' bowrider sport boat with 4.3L Mercruiser V6 sterndrive.

About 150 miles (5 hours) and couldn't be more pleased. Really good value, even when you include the additional cost of the required hub. Quality is comparable to, or better than OEM (Merc Black Max). Finish is very durable as well......(slightly) got into a sand bar on the first outing with this prop with very little damage to the paint and none to the prop. I would definitely purchase this product again, should the need arise.

Recently purchased a used 1900sc Maxum and had a chewed up prop. Interestingly, the prop that was on the boat was NOT the recommended size/pitch (13.5 dia x19 pitch), so I split the difference in moving towards the recommended 14 x 23. (or 14.3x21) VAST improvement. Hole shot is better and absolutely no vibration. Purchased the full hub/kit and wrench as well. Checked the Wide Open RPM (spec is 4400-4800) and fell around 4700 RPM (as expected). Going to buy another one (@ 23 pitch) and then use this prop for skiing/tubing. Shipment was super fast too.

When I turn the ignition the engine starts and the boat goes smooth and as expected. I have my boats on the Georgian Bay of Lake Huron, in the Thirty Thousand Island region. It is also the land f a million shoals. I have hit them! With the combination of this blade and the rubber hub, I have had no problems buggering up the shaft that holds the propeller. Plus I have been able to retrieve the hub in all cases but one. Somehow my brother sheared the teeth off a hub, not sure how, but he did!

Easily installed. You should remind customers who are ordering propellers that they will need a hub to fit. You should also match the correct hub with each propeller as to make it less of a hassel.

First purchase of a Rubex prop. After days of research on which product to buy, I opted for a Rubex. Removed the old prop and noted that the hub was nylon or plastic and that over the past year the prop had been slipping at higher revolutions. The Rubex has a rubber hub and hopefully will stay supple, yet rigid enough, to last longer. I realize hubs eventually give out but that the new one lasts longer than the old one (three years with maybe 30 hours of relatively gentle usage. Re the new Rubex....so far a great prop allowing my 90 hp Merc to push my 22 foot Bennington 'toon like a raped ape.

Although I haven't installed the props yet, I was impressed with the quality I see so far. The blades are smooth, no casting pit marks, I would assume due to their advertized "squeeze" method of casting. Solas was one of the few manufactures that produces a counter rotating prop in aluminum. Originally wanted stainless but as I didn't know exactly what pitch to get I figured I'd experiment with the more reasonably priced aluminum then have them for a spare once I was set on a size.

This prop does not perform as promised. I would not purchase anything else from iboats and will not recommend their products to anyone. When calling customer service they referred me to Solas telling me that they were the only one to authorize returns. Solas tells me that they do not authorize returns and referred me back to iboats. Then iboats tells me that yes, they can authorize returns. Then they tell me that the sales rep from Solas will not honor warranty on their faulty props (I purchased 2 props, both did not perform).

The prop looks great, I installed it exactly like the directions read, when I took the boat to the lake and give it gas, the prop feels like it is slipping, I took the boat back out of the water on the trailer and took the prop back off and checked everything then put it back in the water and it did the same thing. Seems like it keeps slipping and could not get the boat to plane out. Never seen this type of problem before

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it came with everything I needed to install it and seems to be a perfect fit'

I replaced my old 19" pitch alum prop with the new Solas Rubex 17" pitch alum prop. We took my 18' Mariah bowrider w/4.3L mercruiser i/o out just a few days ago. The prop works great. The boat comes to plane much quicker than before. WOT is between 4400-4800 rpms. I ran it for about ten minutes at 4500 rpms, then cruised at 3500 rpms for the rest of the day. The boat performed very well. All in all a good product that I will repurchase when needed.

Solas makes great stuff! Never had issue with any of the ones I bought. They are also a great price so when I do run into something and damage it, it doesn't brake the bank getting a new one. The replaceable hub is a great idea I keep an extra on on the boat and have used it what a life saver.

I moved up from a 17" to 19" and this is just what I needed.

I installed prop with no problem and tested out last Sunday and was very satisfied with the performance. I think for the money it is a great buy and I like the rubber hub it comes with. It could save you money in the long run if you hit anything.

Recieved my prop in about 2 days. Very easy to install. With my Solas prop I gained about 2 mph and about 100 rpm on my 4.3L Merc Cruiser. If you own a boat just go to iboats.com they have it all !!!! Thx iboats.

I'm very satisfied with this prop - it does outperform the factory prop. It also shifts smoother. Will get a 4 blade prop next year for tubing and skiing. Looking forward to many good years of service

Installed the new prop hoping to get more power following the recomended guidelines with very poor performance. Maybe they need better info or a different product.

Have been out three times and about 50 miles on this prop. I am completely satisfied with it and the service from iboats is great. Thank you.

Compared to the Michigans I was using, this prop gives me about 4 mph extra, per GPS. Almost as good as SS

Re-powered my boat with larger motor (90 hp Tohatsu) This is my 5th prop from I boats. Prop worked well but i needed 19 pitch for correct rpm. Took to local prop shop had it repitched to 19. Works great. Boat jumps out of the water and getos on plane in 2-3 seconds.

I ordered the propeller blade for my 3.0L mercruiser Alpha engine. The instructions were great as well as all of the parts as specified. The only small issue was that the blades slightly rubbed against the outdrive when first installed but this was soon corrected as I tightened the nut more and more. It's just that there were only millimeters separating the blade and the outdrive. The test drive was good and the propeller performed well.

the prop had to much pitch, my fault not Iboats. I ordered another prop with the correct pitch and it worked perfectly.

I had my doubts about using this type of prop, but since I have been using it, I am very happy with it. In fact, in order to change out props, now I only have to pay for the prop, not the whole assembly. I can have a prop for regular cruising and one for skiing and change them out very easily. And the big benefit is the second prop doesn't cost nearly what a new one costs.

I ordered the Rubex version of the Solas 14.3" x 21" because they did not have standard prop in stock. Mistake. This hub assembly is not that straight forward and I could nit find out how to install w/o at least 1/2" play. i'm sure that is not good for drive shaft. Instructions are not that clear on how far to "force: hun into prop. In any case, the dimensions are not same as far as clearance from outdrive fin, exhaust ports on hub, etc.
