Q & A

Propeller

Q1：Where can I buy a solas propeller for my boat?

A1 :You can check our web page of "Solas Propellers Distributors",or web page of "Dealers".If you still can't find out,please e-mail to us.

Q2：How can my boat get into plane faster?

A2 :There are many factors that can cause a boat to have difficulty coming to plane. For example, the hull shape, the total boat weight (with fuel and gear you may have), weight distribution, engine mounting position, trim tabs, and the propeller used will all affect the planing capability of your boat. However, a large area propeller or a four blade propeller may help improving the planing performance of your boat.

Q3： What propeller should I use to improve hole shot and top speed?

A3 :Finding a propeller to improve your hole shot and top speed will be difficult. These are two separate characteristics that may take different propellers to achieve the goals. Generally speaking, a smaller blade high pitch propeller may have good top end performance, whereas a large blade low pitch propeller may have a good bottom end. For a light boat with plenty of power, a high pitch propeller with cavitation holes may work very well. However, a four stroke motor may not need a propeller with cavitation holes to achieve good acceleration and top end performance.

Q4：How much should I spend on the propeller for my boat?

A4 :It will always be a balance between performance and cost. The S/S propeller may have better performance, much more durable, and better corrosion resistance capability. However, you may have to pay three times of money on a S/S propeller. Understanding the way the boat operated and where the boat used may help you making a decision.

Q5： Should I go from a three blade to a four blade propeller?

A5 :A four blade propeller has a better cruising performance. It can be handled easier in rough water. Hence, the four blade propeller will be a better choice for a offshore boat user. It will offer you a easier cruising experience. However, if you are looking for a high speed propeller, three blade may be a better choice.

Impeller

Q1：Which Solas impeller should I use?

A1 :The first thing you have to know is the model and year of your personal watercraft. On the selection of a right impeller for your boat you may check the IMPELLER SELECTION GUIDE and the Solas impeller recommendation charts. You may find the recommendation charts under different PWC brand name in the PWC PARTS section. The "*" in the recommendation charts marked the replacement parts for the stock pump.

Q2： Will a high pitch impeller goes faster than a lower pitch one?

A2 :If your watercraft does not have adequate power, you will experience slower acceleration, lower top end rpm, and probably slower top speed.

Q3： Where can I buy a solas impeller for my watercraft?

A3 :You may check with your local dealer or specialty shop for Solas products or send us an e-mail for dealer information.You can check our web page of "Solas Impellers Distributors"
