Performance Benefits

The Quicksilver Silverado QS5054X isn’t just built for power—it’s built for feel. The 14" x 19" pitch offers the ideal balance between acceleration and cruising efficiency, giving you the responsiveness you need when getting on plane and the stability you want once you’re there.

From the moment you open up the throttle, you’ll notice how the prop bites into the water with authority. It pushes your boat forward with crisp, smooth thrust, minimizing slip and maximizing control. As speed builds, the three-blade design channels water flow evenly across the blades, reducing vibration and keeping performance quiet and composed. You’ll feel steadiness in tight turns, predictable tracking through choppy wakes, and confidence when docking or trolling at slower speeds.

Because it’s made from high-strength stainless steel, the Silverado won’t flex like aluminum under heavy loads. That means more consistent performance and power transfer, even in demanding conditions. The one-piece stainless casting provides superior balance and long-term durability, while the mirror-polished finish protects against corrosion and marine buildup in both saltwater and freshwater. Maintenance is simple just rinse, wipe, and go.

This propeller gives you the perfect mix of durability and refinement. It’s built to handle long weekends, full loads, and changing waters with ease. For boaters who value dependable performance and smooth handling, the Silverado isn’t just a choice—it’s an upgrade that makes every trip better.
