Performance Benefits

The Mercury Enertia ECO isn’t just about moving through the water — it’s about how your boat feels when it does. With its wide-diameter, large-blade design, this prop delivers exceptional lift and bite, especially at midrange speeds where most boaters spend their time. The result? Better fuel economy, smoother cruising, and less strain on your engine.

You’ll notice it right away. The acceleration feels clean and confident. The boat climbs onto plane faster, then settles into a steady, efficient rhythm at cruising speed. At the helm, you’ll feel less vibration and more control, even in rougher conditions. The 3-blade configuration cuts through the water with precision, providing predictable handling through turns and consistent grip in all conditions.

Mercury’s proprietary X7 alloy gives this prop serious strength without adding weight. It resists flexing under load, which means every bit of your engine’s power translates directly into thrust. Over time, that strength also means less wear, longer life, and fewer replacements — a win for both performance and your wallet.

This prop is also Joystick Piloting approved, making it ideal for advanced setups where fine control and smooth handling are a must. Whether you’re navigating tight marinas, trolling for fish, or cruising at full throttle across open water, the Enertia ECO keeps you connected, confident, and efficient.

Why This Prop Is a Strong Choice

If you care about performance that goes beyond speed — the kind that gives you range, comfort, and control — the Mercury Enertia ECO (8M0151260) is a propeller you’ll come to depend on. It’s for boaters who think ahead, who want to enjoy the water without compromise, and who understand that efficiency isn’t about cutting corners — it’s about going the distance.

Why this prop is a smart real-world choice:

• Mercury OEM quality: Built, tested, and trusted by Mercury for precision and reliability.
• Superior materials: X7 stainless steel offers unmatched durability and corrosion resistance.

FAQ

Q1: Which Mercury engines does the Enertia ECO Propeller fit?

It’s compatible with Mercury and Mariner 90–115 HP Command Thrust outboards, 135–350 HP TwoStroke and FourStroke outboards (excluding V10 Verado), and MerCruiser Alpha One and Bravo One sterndrives.

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

The Enertia ECO is optimized for midrange fuel efficiency — the range where most boaters operate. Its hydrodynamic design reduces drag and increases lift, helping you travel farther per gallon while maintaining strong acceleration and top speed.

Q3: How do I know if this pitch or size is right for my boat?

A 16" diameter and 22" pitch are best for boats that prioritize cruising efficiency and long-range performance without giving up acceleration or handling.

Q4: Can this prop be used in both saltwater and freshwater?

Yes. Its X7 stainless steel alloy offers outstanding corrosion resistance, making it equally reliable in saltwater or freshwater conditions.

Q5: What hub system does it use?

The Enertia ECO requires a Mercury hub kit (sold separately) to ensure smooth shifting, vibration reduction, and precise fit.
