It’s responsive but forgiving, providing smooth acceleration and balanced power delivery whether you’re running light or fully loaded.

At cruising speed, the difference in control becomes obvious. The three-blade design keeps the boat tracking true through turns, offering steady grip and predictable feedback at the helm. It’s the kind of control that makes your boat feel like an extension of you — steady in chop, confident in current, and smooth through tight maneuvers.

This prop also excels in fuel efficiency. The refined aluminum blades are engineered to minimize drag while maximizing thrust, allowing your engine to run smoother and quieter while burning less fuel. You’ll notice fewer vibrations, better midrange performance, and less fatigue at the wheel.

Maintenance is just as easy. The Phantom Black finish resists corrosion, scuffs, and debris, keeping your prop looking sharp and performing strong season after season. And since it’s made of aluminum, it’s affordable to repair or replace without compromising reliability.
