Performance Benefits

The Nemesis 8M0055534 takes the best qualities of a stainless-steel prop — speed, lift, and precision — and brings them to an aluminum design that’s lighter and more forgiving. From the moment you throttle up, it delivers immediate bite and lift, helping your boat plane faster and run smoother.

You’ll feel the difference in how confidently it grips the water, holding tight even through aggressive turns or choppy conditions. The four-blade design spreads power evenly, reducing slip and improving balance at higher speeds. Whether you’re towing, cruising, or trimming up for top-end efficiency, it stays planted and predictable.

Its high-rake, cupped blades are engineered for superior holding power — perfect for maintaining control when loaded down with gear or passengers. And because it’s cast from durable aluminum with a Phantom Black finish, it’s as easy to maintain as it is to admire. A quick rinse and occasional touch-up are all it takes to keep it looking sharp and performing flawlessly season after season.

Why Is This Prop a Strong Choice vs. Alternatives?

The Quicksilver Nemesis 8M0055534 is the aluminum prop that acts like stainless steel — without the price tag or the stress of expensive repairs. It’s perfect for boaters who want real-world performance without overcomplicating things.

If you are currently running a 3-blade prop and want quicker planing, tighter turns, and better grip without losing top speed, the Nemesis is your answer. It’s engineered by Mercury to meet OEM standards, ensuring perfect fit and balance across a wide range of engines and hulls.

In side-by-side comparisons, it consistently delivers smoother launches, firmer handling, and more stable cruising — especially under load. It’s built for those who value both excitement and dependability — the kind of boaters who want to spend more time on the water and less time worrying about their gear.
