Performance Benefits

The Quicksilver Q3 isn’t just another stainless-steel prop — it’s a step up in pure performance. You’ll notice it the moment you hit the throttle. The thin, high-rake blades slice cleanly through the water, providing strong grip and powerful lift to get you on plane faster. Acceleration feels immediate, and once you’re cruising, the ride stays steady and responsive, even at higher speeds.

The three-blade configuration keeps the balance right where it needs to be — smooth, efficient, and confident. You’ll feel its predictability when carving turns or running through chop.
