Performance Benefits

The Mercury Mirage Plus 3-Blade Propeller has earned its reputation for a reason — it’s fast, stable, and incredibly refined on the water. When you hit the throttle, you can feel the blades grab and push with authority, delivering strong, predictable lift that gets your boat on plane in seconds. The acceleration feels crisp and direct, yet smooth enough that it never feels forced or uneven.

Once you’re cruising, that’s when the Mirage Plus really shows its edge. It tracks beautifully in a straight line, maintains its bite in tight turns, and holds speed effortlessly even in choppy conditions. It’s that rare blend of power and grace that seasoned boaters appreciate — performance you can trust, run after run.

Much of this comes down to Mercury’s proprietary X7 stainless steel alloy, a material designed to take everything you throw at it. It’s stronger, stiffer, and more fatigue-resistant than traditional stainless steel, which means it doesn’t flex or lose pitch under pressure. That stiffness translates directly into efficiency and consistent performance, no matter how hard you run it.

And with Mercury’s Performance Vent System (PVS), you can tailor your hole shot to your setup by adjusting vent plugs. Whether you’re looking for explosive takeoff power or a smoother, more gradual launch, you can tune it to fit your boat, your load, and your style.

Why is this prop a strong choice vs. alternatives?

• Mercury OEM Quality: Designed and tested by Mercury engineers for precision, balance, and reliability.
• Proven Speed and Control: The Mirage Plus is a favorite among boaters chasing top-end speed with stable handling.

If you’re the kind of boater who wants to feel every bit of your engine’s power — without losing control or comfort — the Mirage Plus 3-Blade is a propeller you’ll stick with. It’s the perfect mix of strength, balance, and excitement, built for those who appreciate precision on the water.
