Propellers
Yamaha legendary line of outboards continues to evolve, so does our line of propellers. Tapping into proprietary research, Yamaha’s engineers continue to design and refine props that push the performance of both existing and emerging marine technology to previously unimaginable levels.
In our continuing dedication to developing the perfect propeller for each outboard and boating application, Yamaha continues to develop new additions to its line of superior technology propellers.

Saltwater Series II™- SDS™

Saltwater Series II™- SDS™ Propellers
Yamaha’s new “Shift Dampener System” greatly reduces shifting noise. It’s so impressive there is a patent pending.
Using a special new design and high-strength components, much of the resulting force of an outboard shifting into forward or reverse gear is absorbed, resulting in far quieter and smoother operation.
Initially available on Yamaha’s highly-acclaimed line of Saltwater Series II propellers, the Shift Dampener System will be available in 13”, 15”, 17”, 19”, 21”, and 23” right and left-hand rotations. This system will be incorporated into to other Yamaha propellers in the near future.
With their aggressive rake and extra cupping on the blades, SWSII props are renowned for their durability and superior mid-range fuel efficiency on large offshore boats, along with excellent anti-ventilation characteristics for better handling in rough seas.

To properly harness the awesome power of Yamaha’s new V MAX® SHO™ four stroke outboard, we proudly introduce the V MAX Ventless Series of propellers.
Perfect for bass, flats, and bay boats powered by the new V MAX SHO outboard, these props are purposely designed for more acceleration, higher top-end speed and superior performance and handling when mated to these outboards.
Made of the highest-quality stainless steel and featuring a highly-polished finish with cast-in naming on the barrel, they will be available in 23”, 25”, 27”, and 29” pitches in right-hand rotation only.
NOTE: Two stroke outboards used in bass, flat, and bay boat applications should be equipped with V MAX Vented Series propellers.

Performance XL4™ Series

Performance XL4™ - Series Propellers
Large offshore boats, such as express cruisers and walk-around models, require massive thrust to plane and additional propeller ‘grip’ for maximum operational efficiency. For applications where these attributes are important, Yamaha introduces its XL4 line of propellers.
Helping to harness the incredible power of Yamaha’s 5.3L V8 outboards, these new four-bladed propellers offer outstanding acceleration, quick planing, and improved “grip” to help maintain plane at lower speeds and help eliminate ventilation, particularly in turns and following seas. They’re manufactured from the highest-quality stainless steel, for maximum quality and durability. Polished to a lustrous shine, they will be available in 15” and 17” pitches and
in both right and left-hand rotation.
Please note these particular propellers will only fit Yamaha’s line of V8 outboards.
Performance XL4™ - HP Series

Performance XL4™ - HP Series

Lighter, high-performance offshore boats, such as open fishing-style hulls, can also benefit from the XL4’s excellent acceleration, quick planing, and maximum grip of the water. For these craft, Yamaha introduces the new Performance XL4 – HP series of propellers.
Offering many of the same performance characteristics of their XL4
brethren, their advanced blade geometry is specifically designed for
Yamaha V8 applications where higher speeds are enabled by a specific boat’s hull design.
Featuring a highly-polished stainless steel finish, they will be manufactured to Yamaha’s stringent standards in 24” pitch, right- and left-hand rotation. Other pitches are also in development.
