Performance Benefits.

The Tempest Plus 14.6x22 is designed for boaters who live for open-water runs and demand precise handling along the way. Its large-diameter, three-blade design gives exceptional bow lift—helping the hull ride higher, faster, and smoother. When you hit the throttle, it digs in and drives your boat onto plane in seconds, giving you crisp acceleration and a strong mid-range push.

Once you’re up and running, the difference is clear. The prop’s refined blade geometry keeps your boat balanced at speed, delivering rock-solid tracking and low slip even in rough water. Turns feel natural and deliberate, and there’s a clean, predictable grip on the water that inspires confidence at every trim angle.

The premium stainless steel build ensures long-term performance and reliability, even under heavy torque or in tough environments. It’s resistant to flex and corrosion, meaning it performs consistently season after season. And with Mercury’s Performance Vent System (PVS), you can fine-tune your hole shot—adjusting vent plugs to get the exact acceleration feel you want for your load and water conditions.
