MULTI-D PROPELLER ALUM.AMITA3 13.50X15 RIGHT

Function and technical context

This aluminum propeller from the AMITA3 series, with a diameter of 13.50 inches and a pitch of 15, works directly in the outboard propulsion system, being the element in charge of converting the engine's power into thrust on the water. Its right-hand rotation makes it suitable for standard installations on Suzuki engines of the DT and DF series, guaranteeing efficient transmission of torque without slippage in the hub. A propeller in poor condition causes loss of performance, increased fuel consumption, vibrations in the shaft and risk of cavitation, damaging the water seal and the internal components of the tail if it is not replaced in time.

When to replace this part?

The most common symptoms that indicate that the propeller needs replacement are: abnormal vibrations when accelerating, notable loss of top speed or maximum engine speed, visually detected knocks or impacts on the blades (bent, splintered or with material torn off) and excessive cavitation. It is recommended to inspect the propeller at the beginning and end of each nautical season, and replace it preventively in the event of any impact on the bottom or a submerged object, even if the damage is not visible to the naked eye, since internal deformations of the hub can go unnoticed and accelerate shaft wear. Replacing the propeller at the right time prevents more serious and costly outboard transmission failures.
