Built for 25–75hp outboards with 3.5\" gearcases, this 12.5 x 8 three-blade design is engineered for boaters who want strong bow lift and solid all-around performance without moving to stainless steel pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8\" pitch makes this one of the lower-pitch options in the Hustler® 3.5\" lineup — ideal for heavier boats, pontoons, or heavily loaded hulls where mid-range pull and hole shot matter more than outright top speed. Unlike conventional die-cast aluminum props, the Hustler® is produced from the same blade geometry as stainless steel designs and manufactured using a squeeze casting process that eliminates the air pockets and weak grain structure common in die-cast alternatives. The result is a stiffer, faster blade that holds its shape under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA five-step Ultracoat™ powder-coated finish protects against corrosion and keeps the prop looking sharp season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter x Pitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5\" x 8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlades:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Squeeze-cast aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right-hand (standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25–75hp outboards with 3.5\" gearcase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub system:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Series (installation\/hub kit required — sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible brands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coleman®, Evinrude®, Honda®, Johnson®, Mariner®, Mercury®, Nissan®, Parsun®, Suzuki®, Tohatsu®, Yamaha®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ultracoat™ 5-step powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0 kg (4.4 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21300810\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest Use Case\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the right prop for heavier displacement boats, pontoons, and loaded fishing rigs running a 25–75hp outboard with a 3.5\" gearcase. The low 8\" pitch prioritizes hole shot and mid-range torque over top-end speed — if your boat feels sluggish getting on plane or struggles under load, this pitch is worth considering. For boaters focused on top-end speed with a lighter hull, a higher-pitch option in the Hustler® lineup will be a better fit. If maximum durability is the priority, consider stepping up to the Express Mach3® stainless steel version for this gearcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRelated Propellers (3.5\" Gearcase)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/hustler-propeller-12x10-5-3-blade-aluminum-rh-rotation-25-75hp-3-5-gearcase\"\u003eHustler® 12 x 10.5 – 3-Blade Aluminum, RH Rotation | 25–75hp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/hustler-propeller-10-375x14-3-blade-aluminum-rh-rotation-25-75hp-3-5-gearcase\"\u003eHustler® 10.375 x 14 – 3-Blade Aluminum, RH Rotation | 25–75hp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/hustler-propeller-10-125x15-3-blade-aluminum-rh-rotation-25-75hp-3-5-gearcase\"\u003eHustler® 10.125 x 15 – 3-Blade Aluminum, RH Rotation | 25–75hp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/express-mach3-propeller-10-8x12-3-blade-stainless-steel-rh-rotation-25-75hp-3-5-gearcase\"\u003eExpress Mach3® 10.8 x 12 – 3-Blade Stainless Steel, RH Rotation | 25–75hp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRequired Hub Kit (10 Series)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/masterguard-installation-kit-12-hub-kit-for-25-75hp-outboards-3-5-gearcase\"\u003eMasterGuard Installation Kit 12 – 25–75hp Outboards (3.5\" Gearcase)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify engine compatibility using the Turning Point application chart before ordering — this prop uses 10 Series hub kits only, and the correct kit number varies by engine make, model, and year. The 12.5 x 8 is a low-pitch prop best suited to heavy or loaded boats where hole shot and mid-range pull are the priority; customers chasing top speed on a lighter hull should be directed to a higher-pitch option. If a customer is comparing this to a stainless steel prop, the performance gap is minimal (0.5–1 MPH) — the main advantage of stainless is blade stiffness and strike durability, not speed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51215112110116,"sku":"708-21300810","price":157.19,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/708-21301010.jpg?v=1786150337","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/hustler-propeller-12-5x8-3-blade-aluminum-rh-rotation-25-75hp-3-5-gearcase","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
