Troubleshooting & FAQ
What are the benefits of this stainless steel Duoprop set?
This C2 stainless steel set offers superior performance over aluminum props, including enhanced acceleration, higher top speed, improved durability, and better grip in the water. The material provides excellent strength and resistance to corrosion, cavitation, and damage. The integrated rubber bushing also reduces vibrations and drivetrain stress.
How does Duoprop technology work?
The Volvo Penta Duoprop system uses two counter-rotating propellers. This design cancels out the lateral forces created by a single propeller, focusing all engine power on forward thrust. This results in up to 30% faster acceleration, 10-12% lower fuel consumption at cruising speeds, faster planing, truer tracking, and reduced vibration.
Is installation hardware included with the propeller set?
No, hardware is not included. You must purchase the correct mounting bolt, cone kit, and nuts for your specific shaft size (16mm or 20mm) separately. Refer to the Installation Notes section for a list of required part numbers.
How do I know which C-series size I need?
The correct propeller size depends on your boat's engine, weight, and typical use. The C2 size in this listing is a specific replacement. If you need a different size for your application, consult the C-Series Size Chart in the Technical Specs section and verify compatibility with your marine mechanic.
What are the signs of a failing or damaged propeller?
Common signs include new or increased vibrations, a noticeable drop in performance (acceleration or top speed), reduced fuel efficiency, or visible damage like bent blades, nicks, or cracks. A damaged rubber hub bushing can also cause propeller slippage under load.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
