Performance Benefits

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller brings out the best in your boat’s performance. You’ll notice it from the first throttle push — the prop bites hard, grabs water cleanly, and lifts your boat onto plane up to 25% faster than a comparable three-blade prop. That extra punch translates into smoother takeoffs, quicker responsiveness, and a more controlled ride through varying water conditions.

Once you’re up to speed, the Nemesis keeps that steady, locked-in feel. Its four-blade design holds tight through sharp turns and rough chop, delivering smooth and predictable handling. There no sliding or wandering — just the kind of balance that lets you relax at the helm and enjoy the ride. Whether you’re trimming out for speed or pulling back to cruise, the Nemesis keeps your boat feeling planted and in tune with every move.

Durability is another area where this prop shines. The high-strength aluminum build, paired with the Phantom Black finish, resists corrosion, scuffs, and the wear of regular use. It’s sturdy enough to handle shallow bumps but flexible enough to absorb small impacts without serious damage. Maintenance is simple, performance stays sharp, and you’ll spend more time on the water instead of in the workshop.

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

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller delivers the best of both worlds — stainless-steel-like performance at an aluminum price. It’s the kind of upgrade that instantly improves how your boat feels, without the high cost or maintenance of heavier materials. You’ll get faster hole shots, smoother acceleration, and tighter handling — all backed by Mercury’s trusted OEM quality.

This prop isn’t just about numbers or specs. It’s about confidence. Every launch feels cleaner, every turn more controlled, and every ride more enjoyable. The Nemesis 13" x 17" prop gives your engine a new edge — efficient, powerful, and ready for whatever kind of boating you do most.
