Three Blade Weedless Propeller Kit 275 mm
The standard three-blade propeller: 275 mm diameter, 100 mm pitch, supplied as a kit with the fittings that go with it.
What It Is
This is the propeller Caroute fits as standard across the range. At 275 mm diameter and 100 mm pitch it favours thrust over top speed, which is the right trade for a displacement hull holding a heading or pushing against current.
The kit is listed as workable with Caroute 80 lbs, 100 lbs, 120 lbs, 160 lbs and 180 lbs motors — the whole thrust ladder — so one spare covers a mixed fleet.
Why It Is Specified
- Fits every thrust rating Caroute makes
Listed for 80, 100, 120, 160 and 180 lbs motors.
- Lower pitch, more thrust
100 mm pitch against the 200 mm of the two-blade high-pitch propeller.
- Weedless three-blade form
The three-blade weedless propeller is the standard fit on Caroute drives.
- Supplied as a kit
Propeller with its fittings rather than the blade alone.
Application Scenarios
- Owners keeping a spare propeller on board.
- Fleet operators standardising one propeller across mixed thrust ratings.
- Anyone running in weed where a fouled propeller ends the day.
What It Fixes
- A damaged propeller strands the boat
One kit covers every Caroute thrust rating from 80 to 180 lbs.
- High-pitch propellers stall a heavy hull
At 100 mm pitch this propeller is the thrust-biased option.
- Mixed fleets need multiple spares
One part number covers the full range.

How It Compares Within the Range
| Option | What is different | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Three blade, 275 mm / 100 mm | Thrust biased, standard fit | Displacement hulls, general use |
| Two blade, 295 mm / 200 mm | Speed biased, high pitch | Boats below 500 kg or high hull speed |
How to Specify and Fit It
Check the motor's thrust rating is within 80 to 180 lbs.
Keep the kit dry and store it away from the shaft when not in use.
If the boat is light and fast, compare against the two-blade high-pitch propeller.
