# 3583386 Propeller Blade Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta blade kit for the 3-blade folding propeller for 20-60 hp. Designed for engines from 20 up to 60 hp. At 8 knots a 3-blade fixed propeller produces more than six times the drag of a 3-blade folding propeller. Available in multiple sizes and pitches for both S-drives and shafts, in 16 x 11 in. Volvo Penta folding propellers give minimal drag while sailing combined with the high thrust of a fixed propeller while motoring, even in reverse. The patented design, with protruding blade tips, opens the blades instantly as the propeller starts to turn, and the swept high-skew blade design keeps running smooth and quiet with minimal vibration. Reduced drag under sail increases speed by up to 1.5 knots compared with a fixed propeller.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** D, HS, MS, ZF, MD
-   **HP Range:** 13-75 HP

## 🔌 Function

Supplies the folding blades that convert engine power into thrust, swinging open as the propeller turns and folding closed to cut drag under sail.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Edges chipped or bent from a grounding
-   Blade pivots worn or seized
-   Vibration under way from a damaged blade
-   Fishing line cut into the pivot area

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Only 63 grams separate this from the 16 x 10 kit 3583385, so weight is no guide - order by diameter, pitch and hand
-   3583415 is the 16 x 11 right hand kit for shaft installations
-   Pitch changes engine loading, so match the existing propeller unless repropping deliberately
-   For a complete propeller, order one blade kit and one hub kit.
-   Propeller size has to be calculated to match engine and gear ratio - contact your Volvo Penta dealer.
-   Blade kit includes blades, hex key for the locking screw, lubricant grease and installation instruction.
-   Volvo Penta water-resistant multi-purpose premium grease is highly recommended for greasing propeller shafts, folding propellers and all other propeller components.
