Performance Benefits

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller doesn’t just move your boat — it transforms how it feels on the water. From the first throttle push, it digs in with authority, pulling you onto plane up to 25% faster than comparable three-blade props. That quick, responsive acceleration gives you a stronger hole shot and tighter control when you need it most, whether you’re navigating narrow channels or heading into open water.

Once you’re underway, the Nemesis settles into a rhythm that feels balanced and predictable. Its four blades provide a solid grip on the water, reducing slip and maintaining consistent lift even in choppy or unpredictable conditions. You’ll feel that smooth steadiness in every turn — no sliding, no wandering, just precise, confident handling that makes driving more enjoyable and less work.

Durability is another standout feature. The high-strength aluminum construction offers a balance of toughness and flexibility, holding its shape under pressure while forgiving the occasional bump from shallow debris. The Phantom Black finish doesn’t just look sharp — it protects against corrosion, scuffs, and wear, making this prop easy to maintain season after season.

With the Nemesis, every ride feels smoother, steadier, and more responsive — the kind of performance that builds trust every time you leave the dock.

Why is this prop is a strong choice vs. alternatives?

You’ll get Mercury’s trusted OEM engineering and precision, delivering faster takeoffs, smoother cruising, and better all-around handling without breaking the bank.

This prop is built for real boaters — the weekend anglers, the early risers, and the families who love the water. It’s easy to maintain, reliable under pressure, and designed to perform beautifully in the environments most of us actually boat in. Simply put, the Nemesis is a prop that makes your boat feel alive again.
