Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, and Tohatsu – propellers for boats

We offer a wide selection of high-quality KDPropellers aluminum propellers suitable for Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, and Tohatsu outboard motors. Our selection includes propellers for engine power ratings from 9 to 200 hp with a variety of pitch and diameter options — a versatile range that enables optimal performance in a wide variety of boat and engine combinations.

Durable and high-performance aluminium picker

KDPropellers propellers are made from strong, lightweight aluminum alloy. Thin but rigid blades ensure excellent durability and performance — a great choice for light and medium-powered boats, as well as for fishing and recreational boating.

7X series – power and less cavitation

Advanced casting technology in the 7X series aluminum propellers enables extremely thin blades. This improves propeller efficiency and acceleration and reduces the risk of cavitation, resulting in a smoother and more economical driving experience.

How to choose the right outboard propeller? - basic information on propeller size and pitch selection

Choosing the right propeller improves boat performance, increases top speed and reduces fuel consumption. When you're looking for outboard propellers, always check these basics:

Check your outboard engine model and hub trim and propeller size. The propeller size is marked on the side of the propeller hub or on the end of the hub. For example, 13×15, where the first number is the diameter of the propeller and the second is the pitch in inches.

When an engine is purchased, it is often supplied with a propeller designed for the widest possible range of applications, and the propeller is rated to fit as many boat/engine combinations as possible. This propeller may not be the best choice in all cases. Two identical boats with identical engines may have different propeller sizes if they are used with different loads or if one boat is used for water skiing, for example.

A change in propeller pitch can increase or decrease the engine speed. An increase or decrease of two inches (2") of pitch will usually affect engine RPM by approximately +- 300-400 rpm depending on engine power and model. Also check the engine manufacturer's recommended rpm range for your outboard engine!

In general, you should choose a propeller with a higher pitch when the load is small and a propeller with a lower pitch when the load is large. If the boat load varies a lot, a propeller should be selected which will allow the engine to reach the correct speed at maximum load. However, it should be noted that the throttle may need to be reduced when the boat is under a lighter load in order to maintain the engine speed within the recommended speed range for that engine.
