15M ¼ 15 Propeller

Product description

The 15 ¼ × 15-M Propeller — with a large diameter, ultra-durable stainless steel build, and three-blade design — delivers strong low-end thrust and cruising speeds over 45 mph for your 150–200 HP boat. A reliable choice for heavy-duty commercial use or high-performance recreation in saltwater conditions.

Product Summary

1. The 15 ¼ × 15-M propeller is engineered for Yamaha 150 to 200 HP engines, delivering optimal performance on both heavy commercial and high-performance recreational boats.
2. Its large 15 ¼-inch diameter and 15-M pitch offer excellent low-end pull and fuel-efficient cruising speeds between 30–45 mph.
3. Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it withstands saltwater, sand abrasion, and wave impacts.
4. Operating range is stable from 2250 to 3000 rpm, and it can spin up to 5500 rpm without cavitation — keeping your engine in its peak torque range.
5. Factory testing at 38 mph showed fuel consumption up to 10% lower compared to same-size aluminum propellers.

Torque
● Three-blade design with reinforced root and large diameter delivers up to 220 N·m of effective torque at low RPM (200 HP engine); pulls heavy boats out of the water without cavitation (Hole-Shot).

● 12° rake combined with hydrodynamic camber channels water flow in a spiral, reducing energy loss by up to 8% compared to flat-blade designs.
Horsepower Utilization
● The 15-M pitch keeps the engine in the 5300–4800 rpm range (power peak); enabling high cruising speeds with optimal fuel efficiency.

● Steady 40 mph test with a 200 HP engine recorded 12.0 L/h fuel consumption — 10% lower than a same-diameter 15-pitch aluminum propeller.

● In calm seas, no vibration or cavitation was observed up to the maximum rated RPM.
Flexibility
● Stainless steel: 790 MPa yield strength and 14% elongation; resists bending or cracking under moderate impact.

● Hybrid-resin hub with rubber bushing absorbs up to 60% of torsional shock, protecting the gearbox.
Durability
● Dual-layer epoxy coating (on both versions) ensures up to 800 hours of ASTM B117 salt spray resistance.

● 150-hour continuous test at 5000 rpm showed no measurable pitch change or cracking.
