The H5's blades on a saildrive hub
Autoprop APS Saildrive
Direct-fit Autoprop variants for Volvo Penta and Yanmar saildrives — roughly a third of every fitment we've documented.
The APS series mounts the proven H5 blade set on hubs splined for common saildrives (Volvo Penta 110S/120S/130S/150S families, Yanmar SD-series). Anode arrangements are saildrive-specific and included.
Saildrive legs put the propeller in clean water flow — ideal for the self-pitching action — and the APS's feathered profile takes real drag off modern beamy hulls that sail fast.
Worth knowing: Tell us your saildrive model (or upload a photo of the leg's plate) — spline fitment is confirmed on every order.

Sizing
Series is the easy part. Diameter is the engineering.
Power, max RPM and gearbox ratio give shaft RPM; shaft RPM and power give optimum diameter; your aperture sets the ceiling. The Builder runs it in a minute — an engineer verifies it before supply.
