MULTI-D PROPELLER ALUM.AMITA3 14X11 RIGHT

Function and technical context

The AMITA3 aluminum propeller in 14x11 configuration with right-hand pitch is part of the boat's propulsion system, being the element in charge of converting the engine power into effective thrust on the water. With three blades and a diameter of 14 inches with a pitch of 11 inches, this propeller works directly coupled to the shaft or tail of the propulsion group, determining the engine's working regime and, consequently, the performance and fuel consumption. A propeller in poor condition, deformed or with incorrect pitch causes cavitation, loss of traction, engine overstress and, in severe cases, irreversible damage to the drive train.

When to replace this part?

The most common symptoms that indicate the need to change the propeller are: abnormal vibrations during navigation, notable loss of top speed or acceleration, difficulty reaching the maximum engine RPM and unusual noises coming from the propeller area. Aluminum propellers are especially susceptible to damage from impacts with floating objects, bottoms or sand, so it is a good idea to visually inspect them at the beginning and end of each season. Replacing a damaged propeller preventively avoids imbalances that could affect the tail seal, bearings and other components of the transmission system, with the consequent savings on higher-cost repairs.
