Solas Amita 3 Aluminum 3-Blade Propeller – 14.8" x 17" for Volvo Penta
The Solas Amita 3 is a purpose-built aluminum propeller designed specifically for Volvo Penta stern drive applications. Manufactured using an exclusive squeeze-cast process, the Amita 3 produces denser, stronger blades than standard cast aluminum props — resulting in better bite, improved efficiency, and a longer service life on the water.
The traditional pre-fitted rubber hub absorbs shock loads and protects your drive from impact damage, while the 3-blade design delivers a well-balanced combination of acceleration and top-end speed. At 14.8" diameter and 17" pitch, this prop is well-suited for a wide range of Volvo Penta stern drive setups where a direct-fit, no-hub-kit solution is preferred.
Key Features
- Squeeze-cast aluminum construction for superior blade strength and durability
- Pre-fitted rubber hub — no separate hub kit required
- 3-blade design for balanced acceleration and top speed
- Designed specifically for Volvo Penta stern drive applications
- Right-hand (RH) rotation
- Diameter: 14.8" | Pitch: 17"
- Part Number: 8611-148-17

Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: The Amita 3 in 14.8" x 17" pitch is a strong recommendation for Volvo Penta stern drive boats in the 20–26 ft range running moderate loads — think family runabouts, bowriders, and light cabin cruisers. The 17" pitch suits mid-range RPM applications where the customer wants a balance of hole shot and cruise efficiency. If a customer is reporting over-revving at WOT, step up to the 19" or 21" pitch variants. If they want better stern lift or are running a heavier load, suggest the Amita 4 (4-blade).
Hub Note: Unlike the Rubex series, the Amita 3 comes with a pre-fitted rubber hub — no separate hub kit purchase required. This is a key selling point for customers who want a straightforward drop-in replacement.
Fitment: Confirm the customer's Volvo Penta engine model and year before finalizing the recommendation. Cross-reference with the Solas application chart at rubexprops.com.
