Performance Benefits

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller takes what you expect from an aluminum prop and raises the bar. From the moment you throttle up, it grabs the water with precision, pulling your boat onto plane up to 25% faster than comparable three-blade models. The acceleration feels crisp, immediate, and strong — no hesitation, no sluggish response — just smooth, confident power.

Once you’re cruising, the Nemesis settles into a rhythm that feels effortless. Its four-blade design keeps your boat balanced and planted through tight turns, waves, and shifting water. There’s no sliding, no wandering — just steady, controlled motion that makes steering feel intuitive and natural. You’ll notice how responsive your boat becomes, especially when navigating winding channels or when you need that extra bit of control in choppy conditions.

Durability is where this prop really shines. Built from high-strength aluminum and coated in a glossy Phantom Black finish, it stands up to corrosion, wear, and impact from everyday use. The alloy construction strikes the perfect balance between strength and flexibility — rigid enough to hold its form under pressure but forgiving enough to absorb small bumps without major damage. Maintenance is straightforward, and performance remains sharp season after season. It’s a prop designed to last, no matter how often you hit the water.

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

If you’re looking for a propeller that delivers stainless-steel-like performance without the heavy price tag, the Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller is your answer. It’s built with the same precision engineering you’d expect from Mercury, giving you the reliability, balance, and control that makes boating more enjoyable.

You’ll get faster takeoffs, smoother cruising, and better overall handling — all in an aluminum prop that’s easy to maintain and light on your wallet. Whether you’re chasing the morning calm or towing the kids across the lake, the Nemesis gives your boat the kind of confidence and responsiveness that makes every trip a pleasure. It’s not just a prop — it’s the heartbeat of your boat’s performance.
