Performance Benefits

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller redefines what you can expect from an aluminum prop. It’s the world’s first true performance aluminum propeller, and you’ll feel that difference from the moment you hit the throttle. Acceleration is up to 25% faster than comparable three-blade props, thanks to the Nemesis’s aggressive geometry and cupped blade design. It grabs the water with authority, putting you on plane in seconds, and holds its grip even in sharp turns or rough conditions.

Once you are running, the Nemesis settles into a smooth, balanced rhythm. The four-blade setup eliminates much of the vibration common in traditional aluminum props, delivering a steadier, quieter ride. It feels predictable through turns and controlled at speed — no slipping, no wandering, just clean, confident handling.

That sense of connection comes from the prop’s precision-cast aluminum and high rake design, which work together to enhance lift and stability. It’s especially noticeable when you’re carrying extra passengers or gear. The prop keeps its bite, giving your boat consistent performance without the bogging or drag that can kill your momentum.

And when it comes to durability, the Nemesis proves that performance does not have to mean fragility. Its high-gloss Phantom Black finish resists corrosion and surface wear, while the aluminum alloy offers the perfect blend of strength and flexibility to handle real-world use. It’s easy to maintain, easy to repair, and designed to deliver years of reliable service on the water.

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

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller is a practical choice for boaters who want serious performance without jumping to stainless steel. It offers OEM-grade Mercury engineering at a fraction of the cost, combining smooth handling, fast acceleration, and long-term dependability. It’s a prop that works as hard as you do — strong, efficient, and easy to live with. If you’re upgrading from a three-blade, the difference in control and lift will be immediate and worth every dollar.
