{"product_id":"3583422-propeller-blade-kit-genuine-volvo-penta","title":"3583422 Propeller Blade Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\n 🔧 Product Description\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n 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 18 x 16 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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n ⚙️ Key Features\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  18 x 16 inch\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  For shaft installations\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Nibral nickel-bronze-aluminium alloy\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Includes hex key, propeller grease and fitting instruction\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  6.214 kg\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Supersedes 3581818\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  3-blade\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Right-hand rotation\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  18 x 16 in diameter x pitch.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Listed for shaft installations.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Powerful thrust even in reverse thanks to patented blade geometry.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Smooth, low-noise operation with minimal vibrations.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Safe opening with quick response in both forward and reverse.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Rubber bushing and galvanic isolation (hubs for S-drives).\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Made of extremely strong and durable nibral (nickel-bronze-aluminium) alloy.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Material: nibral\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fits: Shaft installations\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Type: 18 x 16\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🔌 Function\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Supplies the folding blades that convert engine power into thrust, swinging open as the propeller turns and folding closed to cut drag under sail.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Blades not opening or folding cleanly\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Edges chipped or bent from a grounding\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Blade pivots worn or seized\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Vibration under way from a damaged blade\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Weed or line cut into the pivot area\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🛠️ Service Notes\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  The highest pitch at 18 inch diameter in this range, and the hand is not stated - confirm it before ordering\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  3584031 is the 18 x 16 left hand kit that also carries the S-drive fitment\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  A propeller this coarse can stop a small engine reaching rated speed, so have the size calculated against the engine and gear ratio and check it on trial\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  For a complete propeller, order one blade kit and one hub kit.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Propeller size has to be calculated to match engine and gear ratio - contact your Volvo Penta dealer.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Blade kit includes blades, hex key for the locking screw, lubricant grease and installation instruction.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta water-resistant multi-purpose premium grease is highly recommended for greasing propeller shafts, folding propellers and all other propeller components.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🔄 Supersession \u0026amp; Cross Reference\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n OEM Supersession Chain\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  3583422 → Supersedes 3581818\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n OEM \/ Related Numbers\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  3581818 earlier number superseded by this part\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 📦 Condition\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Genuine Volvo Penta part\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Brand new\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Supplied in original or equivalent packaging\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Volvo Penta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53379725885732,"sku":"961564F","price":3334.17,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/8115\/7924\/files\/original_19e7e843-e63f-441d-8e84-bde6a4fba433.jpg?v=1788070313","url":"https:\/\/www.sawleysautoandmarine.com.au\/products\/3583422-propeller-blade-kit-genuine-volvo-penta","provider":"Sawley's Auto and Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
