3583415 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

• Blades not opening or folding cleanly
• Edges chipped or bent from a grounding
• Blade pivots worn or seized
• Vibration under way from a damaged blade
• Line or weed cut into the pivot area

🛠️ Service Notes

• Diameter, pitch and hand must all match - this is 16 x 11 right hand, and 3583386 is the left hand version
• Blades are supplied as a matched set; never fit a single replacement blade
• The hub kit is a separate order and the propeller size should be calculated against the engine and gear ratio
• 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.
