3584031 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 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.

🚤 Compatibility

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

🛠️ Service Notes

• Hand and the 18 x 16 diameter and pitch decide the order - a right-hand kit of the same size looks identical on the shelf, and 3583422 is the 18 x 16 kit listed for shafts
• Replace blades as a set so the propeller stays in balance, and check the pivot pins and bushings while the blades are off
• Order one hub kit alongside this blade kit to make up a complete propeller
• 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.
