Most boats come with a 3-blade prop, which works. However, 4-blade props greatly enhance the performance of heavier fishing boats like walleye boats or boats run by bass tournament anglers who have lots of equipment and often a guest.
Unique demands of a heavier fishing boat:
-
- Good mid-range performance
- Forward and back trolling with the main outboard
- Great performance in heavy seas
- Fuel economy especially at the mid-range performance
A 4-blade propeller such as Mercury Marine's Fury 4-blade propeller, which is specifically designed for heavier, multi-species fishing boats, provides the following advantages:
- Grabs more water which gets up on plane faster even with a heavy load like a lot of Walleye gear
- You always have two blades in the water which gives the prop bite and keeps the hull lifted and on plane even in heavy seas
- More efficient for back-trolling and forward-trolling
- Enhanced fuel economy
A 4-blade propeller like Mercury Marine's Fury 4-blade enhances the performance of any walleye or multi-species fishing boat. **EXCITING NEW RESOURCE FOR BOATING ENTHUSIASTS** For lifestyle, how-to, gear & technology, and inspiration, check out Mercury Marine’s blog – Dockline. www.mercurydockline.com
