SOLAS Stainless Steel Propeller Rubex L3 Plus 3-Blade 16 × 19 RH is a large-diameter boat propeller developed for compatible high-horsepower outboard engines and sterndrives. Manufacturer part number 9571-160-19 identifies the right-hand model with a 16-inch diameter, 19-inch pitch, and three-blade configuration. Its large blade area is designed for bigger and heavier boats that require dependable thrust, responsive mid-range operation, and strong high-speed performance. The propeller also uses a thru-hub exhaust design on compatible installations.

Manufactured from polished stainless steel, this marine propeller combines a durable construction with thinner, rigid blades that maintain their intended shape under demanding operating loads. The Rubex L3 Plus has a larger diameter and blade design than the standard Rubex L3, providing the blade area needed for heavier marine applications. SOLAS describes the L3 Plus series as offering strong mid-range performance, high-speed capability, and fuel-efficient operation for offshore boats. Actual acceleration, engine speed, fuel consumption, and top speed will depend on the boat, engine, load, mounting height, gear ratio, and correct propeller selection.

The 16 × 19 specification means the boat propeller measures approximately 16 inches across its complete rotating circle and has a nominal pitch of 19 inches. It is a right-hand propeller, meaning it rotates clockwise when viewed from behind the boat while moving forward. Buyers should confirm that the diameter, pitch, rotation, gearcase clearance, engine operating-rpm range, and intended load match their vessel before ordering. Selecting an incorrect pitch can prevent the engine from reaching its recommended wide-open-throttle rpm range or allow it to exceed that range.

This SOLAS propeller uses the Rubex interchangeable hub system, allowing the same propeller body to work with various compatible engine applications when fitted with the correct engine-specific Rubex hub kit. Compatibility can include selected Mercury, Mariner, MerCruiser, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Johnson, Evinrude, OMC, and Volvo Penta applications, but fitment is not universal. The required spline arrangement is determined by the selected hub kit, and the hub kit is sold separately. Always provide the engine manufacturer, model, horsepower, model year, gearcase size, prop-shaft spline count, current propeller dimensions, and normal operating load so the correct fitment can be checked. Product specifications and hub requirements are confirmed by the SOLAS application charts and established marine suppliers.

Key Features:

• SOLAS Stainless Steel Propeller Rubex L3 Plus 3-Blade 16 × 19 RH features a large 16-inch diameter and generous blade area for compatible big outboards, sterndrives, and heavier boats.
• The three-blade configuration is designed to support effective thrust, responsive mid-range operation, and high-speed performance when correctly matched to the vessel and engine.
• Its 19-inch pitch makes it suitable for applications specifically requiring a 16 × 19 propeller; pitch should always be matched to the engine’s recommended operating RPM range.
• Right-hand or standard rotation turns clockwise when viewed from behind the boat during forward operation.
• Polished stainless steel construction provides a rigid blade structure and a corrosion-resistant exterior suitable for marine environments with appropriate care.
• The Rubex L3 Plus design has a larger diameter and blade area than the standard Rubex L3 series.
• A thru-hub exhaust passage allows engine exhaust to discharge through the propeller hub on compatible outboard and sterndrive installations.
• The interchangeable Rubex hub system supports multiple compatible engine brands by using the correct application-specific hub kit.
• The hub kit is not included and must be selected separately according to the exact engine, propeller shaft, horsepower, and model year.
• Manufacturer part number: 9571-160-19; material: stainless steel; diameter: 16 inches; pitch: 19 inches; blades: three; rotation: right-hand.

Applications / Suitable For:

• SOLAS Stainless Steel Propeller Rubex L3 Plus 3-Blade 16 × 19 RH is suitable for larger recreational, offshore, fishing, cruising, and commercial boats whose engines and operating conditions call for this exact propeller specification.
• Compatible with high-horsepower outboard installations using the appropriate Rubex hub kit and meeting the required gearcase, spline, diameter, pitch, and rotation specifications.
• Selected sterndrive applications approved in the SOLAS fitment guide and equipped with the correct engine-specific hub components.
• Boat owners replacing an existing 16 × 19 RH stainless steel boat propeller, provided the complete engine and vessel fitment has been verified.
• Heavier hulls and offshore boats that can benefit from the L3 Plus model’s large diameter and expanded blade area.
• Single-engine installations requiring right-hand rotation and certain multi-engine arrangements that specifically call for an RH propeller.
• Repowering, propeller replacement, or performance-correction projects where engine rpm, boat load, current propeller data, and manufacturer fitment guidance have been reviewed.

FAQs:

Q: What are the main specifications of the SOLAS Stainless Steel Propeller Rubex L3 Plus 3-Blade 16 × 19 RH?
A: It is a polished stainless steel propeller with three blades, a 16-inch diameter, 19-inch pitch, right-hand rotation, and manufacturer part number 9571-160-19.

Q: Does this SOLAS propeller include the Rubex hub kit?
A: No. The required Rubex interchangeable hub kit is sold separately and must be selected for the exact engine, model year, horsepower, and propeller-shaft configuration.

Q: Will this 16 × 19 RH propeller fit every large outboard engine?
A: No. Fitment varies by engine brand, model, year, horsepower, gearcase, and spline arrangement. Share your complete engine details with us so we can help identify the appropriate propeller and hub kit.

Q: What does right-hand rotation mean?
A: A right-hand propeller rotates clockwise when viewed from behind the boat while producing forward movement. Confirm the required rotation before ordering, especially for multi-engine boats.
