Mercury – Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller | 14" Diameter x 14" Pitch | Right-Hand Rotation | 4-Blade | Aluminum | Phantom Black Finish | 8M0055533

Overview

Every boater knows that sweet spot when the prop’s tuned just right and the boat lifts like it’s meant to — the boat lifts cleanly, the throttle feels alive, and the water slips away without hesitation. The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller (Part Number 8M0055533) was built for that feeling. It’s not just another aluminum prop; it’s the first performance aluminum propeller in the world. With its bold, high-rake 4-blade design, it gives you the kind of acceleration, grip, and stability that turns an average day on the water into something special. Fast to plane, strong in turns, and smooth at cruise — this prop delivers confident control every time you throttle up.

Why Is This Prop Is A Strong Choice vs. Alternatives?

The Quicksilver Nemesis 8M0055533 redefines what an aluminum prop can do. It delivers the control and acceleration of a stainless-steel prop — without the high cost or repair headaches. For boaters upgrading from a 3-blade setup, the difference is immediately noticeable. You’ll feel it in the throttle response, the way the boat jumps onto plane, and the smoothness through every turn.

Its unique 4-blade geometry gives you tighter grip and superior holding power in situations where standard props might slip. That means stronger performance under load, better fuel efficiency, and more control when docking or maneuvering. And with Mercury’s proven casting and finish quality, you get long-term dependability that stands up to real-world boating — not just perfect-water conditions.

For those who want an aluminum prop that performs like something far more expensive, the Nemesis is an easy choice. It’s the perfect blend of speed, durability, and control — designed to make every trip feel effortless and every throttle push more rewarding.

FAQ Section

Q1: Which Mercury engines does the Quicksilver Nemesis 14" x 14" fit?

It fits Mercury and Mariner 90–115 HP Command Thrust outboards and 150–300 HP Mercury/MerCruiser engines.

Q2: What makes this propeller different from other Mercury options?

The Nemesis is the world’s first performance aluminum prop, designed to deliver faster acceleration, stronger grip, and improved efficiency over traditional 3-blade designs.

Q3: How do I know if this pitch or size is right for my boat?

If your current 3-blade prop allows your engine to reach its proper rpm range, switching to the same pitch Nemesis prop will give you faster acceleration and tighter handling.
