Performance Benefits

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller changes how your boat feels the moment you touch the throttle. It grabs the water instantly, pulling your boat onto plane up to 25% faster than a typical three-blade prop. That crisp acceleration gives you more control — whether you’re maneuvering in tight spaces or pushing across open water. The extra bite translates into smoother, steadier power, making takeoffs more predictable and cruising more relaxed.

Once you’re up and running, you’ll notice how composed the Nemesis feels. The four-blade design provides excellent grip and lift, holding strong through corners and chop. It doesn’t slide or wander — just a steady, confident motion that makes every turn feel precise. You can trim the motor higher without losing traction, which means better efficiency, less drag, and a smoother ride overall. It is a prop that connects you to the water in a way that feels effortless but sure.

Durability is another reason boaters keep coming back to the Nemesis. Built from high-strength aluminum and finished in Quicksilver’s signature Phantom Black coating, it resists corrosion, scratches, and the wear of daily use. The alloy offers the right mix of rigidity and flexibility — tough enough to take a bump from shallow debris, yet forgiving enough to avoid serious damage. Maintenance is simple, and performance stays sharp season after season.

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

If you’ve been looking for a prop that brings stainless-steel-like performance without the stainless-steel price, the Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller is a smart choice. It’s engineered with Mercury OEM precision, offering the same reliability and balance found in higher-end models. The difference is in how it feels — faster takeoffs, steadier cruising, and tighter handling that make every outing more enjoyable.

It’s the kind of prop you can count on to perform when it matters most — whether you’re fishing at dawn, cruising with family, or heading home through a headwind. Built to last, easy to maintain, and trusted by boaters everywhere, the Nemesis isn’t just another prop — it’s a performance upgrade you can feel from the helm.
