Performance Benefits

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller doesn’t just move your boat — it transforms how it feels on the water. Its aggressive blade geometry and cupped design give you up to 25% faster acceleration than comparable three-blade props. You’ll feel that extra bite when you throttle up — the boat jumps onto plane quickly, gripping the water with confidence.

Once you’re cruising, the Nemesis holds its own with an easy, stable rhythm. The four blades smooth out vibration, reduce slip in turns, and keep your steering predictable through chop and wakes. It’s that rare balance of speed and control — lively when you want it, calm when you need it.

Durability is built into its DNA. The prop’s high-quality aluminum casting and glossy Phantom Black finish aren’t just for looks; they protect against corrosion and wear while making maintenance simple. The alloy itself offers just the right mix of strength and flexibility — tough enough to handle the occasional bump, forgiving enough to prevent lasting damage. It’s a prop that feels as good in season five as it did on day one.

You’ll enjoy near-stainless performance for a fraction of the cost, with smoother acceleration, tighter handling, and the kind of all-day comfort that makes boating more fun. Whether you’re upgrading from a standard three-blade or replacing a worn-out prop, this Nemesis is a choice that feels instantly right.

FAQ Section

Q1: Which Mercury engines does the Nemesis 4-Blade Propeller fit?

It’s made for 40–60 HP Mercury outboards and also works with compatible Mariner, Honda, and Tohatsu setups when fitted with the correct thrust washer.

Q2: What makes this propeller different from other Mercury options?
