Once up and running, the Enertia finds its rhythm. It grips hard through turns, tracks straight through chop, and keeps your bow steady under load. The larger diameter adds lift and stability, especially for deeper hulls or heavier boats, while its finely tuned blade geometry minimizes slip for more speed and efficiency. That means better fuel economy, smoother cruising, and less effort at the helm.

At midrange speeds, this prop shines. It stays composed, quiet, and balanced, letting you relax into the run instead of fighting vibration or steering pull. And when you’re pushing full throttle, you’ll notice how the Enertia holds its line — fast, steady, and smooth through every surge.

Mercury’s exclusive X7 stainless steel gives the Enertia its backbone. It’s 30% stronger and four times more durable than traditional stainless, resisting flex and fatigue even under hard use. Combined with Mercury’s Performance Vent System (PVS), you can fine-tune your acceleration for your boat and conditions swap vent plugs for faster hole shots or smoother transitions, depending on your setup.
