Performance Benefits

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller changes what you expect from an aluminum prop. It delivers that instant, clean bite when you throttle up — pulling your boat onto plane up to 25% faster than a typical three-blade propeller. You’ll feel the bow lift with confidence and the engine respond instantly, with no lag and no wasted motion.

Once you’re moving, the Nemesis settles into a smooth, steady rhythm. The four-blade design grips the water with authority, keeping your boat planted through sharp turns, waves, and heavy chop. It’s a balance of control and ease — agile when you want it, forgiving when you need it. The prop holds tight at speed, reducing slip and vibration, so you can focus on enjoying the ride instead of fighting it.

Durability is another area where the Nemesis earns its reputation. Cast from high-strength aluminum and coated in Quicksilver’s signature Phantom Black finish, this prop resists corrosion, scratches, and general wear. It is strong enough to handle the occasional bump or scrape, yet flexible enough to absorb impact without serious damage. That means more time on the water and fewer worries about maintenance.

Whether you’re running a pontoon loaded with friends or a mid-size fishing boat chasing the morning bite, the Nemesis keeps your performance consistent, your handling predictable, and your acceleration crisp.

Why is this prop is a strong choice vs. alternatives?

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller gives you the best of both worlds — performance and practicality. It’s built with Mercury’s proven engineering, delivering the kind of precision and reliability boaters have trusted for decades. You get acceleration and lift that rival stainless-steel props, but at a fraction of the cost.

It’s easy to maintain, forgiving to use, and versatile enough to suit a range of boats and conditions. For anyone upgrading from a standard three-blade prop, the difference is immediate — faster takeoff, better grip in turns, and smoother cruising across all speeds. If you’re looking for a propeller that performs like a pro but feels like second nature, the Nemesis 13.8" x 10" is exactly that.
