Propellers, Propeller Families

Propellers

Each propeller is designed for a specific horsepower range and application. Choosing the right one can enhance your boat's overall performance and improve your outboard’s acceleration, top-end speed, handling and fuel efficiency. To help you find the right propeller, Yamaha’s full line is categorized by application: Large Boats, Medium/Small Boats, Family/Watersports and Bass/Bay/Flats Boats.

Marine Rigging Catalog

Yamaha propellers are designed to harness the power of Yamaha outboards. Engineered using proprietary information, manufactured to our stringent standards for quality and tested for performance, nothing will maximize your outboard’s performance quite like a Yamaha propeller.

Large Offshore Boats

Propellers in our Large Boat category are proven to provide high performance and operating efficiency for most large offshore boat applications, such as large center consoles, walkarounds and boats with loads weighing 10,000+ pounds.

Saltwater Series II™ (SDS)

Designed for today’s larger offshore boats, it provides longer cruising range, superior midrange fuel efficiency and better handling in rough seas. Features a new SDS design that requires no special hardware to function.

Saltwater Series XL® (SDS)

For our V8 F350 four stroke. It provides plenty of power-to-plane, acceleration and top-end. Updated hub system accommodates older Yamaha F350s.

XTO OS® (SDS) Propellers

With diameters from 16 to 17 1/8 inches and increased blade surface, XTO OS^®propellers are engineered to complement the torque potential of our V8 XTO Offshore^® outboard on 50-foot-plus boats. Features our patented, Shift Dampener System (SDS) for a smoother ride.

Saltwater Series XL4™ (SDS)

Improves acceleration, planing and grip and reduces ventilation on large, V8 F350-powered boats. Features a new SDS design that requires no special hardware to function.

Saltwater Series XL4™ - HP (SDS)

An advanced blade design for V8 outboards provides quick planing while improving acceleration and grip on stepped hulls or high-HP offshore center consoles. Features a new SDS design that requires no special hardware to function.

Saltwater Series HS4™ (SDS)

Provides excellent acceleration, quick planing and max grip, while resisting ventilation in rough or following seas on V6-powered boats. Features an updated SDS design that requires no special hardware to function.

Medium / Small Boats

Propellers in our Medium/Small Boat category provide superior handling and optimal performance on small and medium-size boats, such as aluminum fishing boats, deep-Vs and jon boats.

Reliance® (SDS)

Created specifically for high-horsepower, in-line four-cylinder outboards (F150, F175 and F200). It’s faster at all RPM ranges than our painted stainless steel propellers and resists ventilation. Features a new SDS design that needs no special hardware to function.

Talon SS™ (SDS)

Smooth, quiet shifting and trolling for F70 – F115 and T50/T60 outboards on pontoon, walleye, fiberglass and deep-V boats. Features an updated SDS design that requires no special hardware to function.

Aluminum

Low-cost and lightweight, it provides good overall performance for outboards 2 hp to 225 hp, and a wide variety of applications.

Talon GP™ (SDS)

Ideal for lighter-weight boats using T50 – F115 outboards, its special blades provide “grip” on the water in turns and at high trim angles. Features an updated SDS design that requires no special hardware to function.

Talon® Pontoon (SDS)

Excellent low-speed operation, providing higher thrust and control than conventional propellers on pontoons (even heavily loaded) using T50-F115 outboards. Features an updated SDS design that requires no special hardware to function.

Talon SS4™ (SDS)

Stronger hole shot than comparable 3-blade propellers. Excellent on mid-range powered flats boats or on applications requiring high engine mounting heights. Fits F70 to VF115, T50/T60 K series (4.25") gearcases. Standard Shift Dampener System (SDS).

Painted Stainless Steel

Excellent general purpose propeller for 25 hp – 300 hp, in left- and right-hand rotation. More durable than aluminum.

Performance 3

Excellent performing, general purpose stainless steel propeller available in right- and select left-hand rotation for outboards 25 – 300 hp.

Family / Watersports Boats

Propellers in our Family/Watersports Boat category are known for thrust and solid performance. Count on these propeller series to help you power the fun on deck boats, pontoons and fish ‘n’ ski boats.

Reliance® (SDS)

Talon® Pontoon (SDS)

Excellent low-speed operation, providing higher thrust and control than conventional propellers on pontoons (even heavily loaded) using T50-F115 outboards. Features an SDS design that requires no special hardware to function.

Dual Thrust™

Harnesses the power of our High Thrust outboards for pushing heavy loads such as sailboats and pontoons, and provides outstanding reverse thrust. Standard on T9.9 and T25, optional on T50 and T60.

Aluminum

Low-cost and lightweight, it provides good overall performance for outboards 2 hp to 225 hp, and a wide variety of applications.

Talon SS™ (SDS)

Smooth, quiet shifting and trolling for F70 – F115 and T50/T60 outboards on pontoon, walleye, fiberglass and deep-V boats. Features a new SDS design that needs no special hardware to function.
