Performance Benefits

The Mercury Tempest Plus 8M0151385 delivers a smooth, commanding ride from the first touch of the throttle. Its three-blade design bites into the water with purpose, launching you onto plane quickly and cleanly while maintaining excellent lift and control. You’ll notice how easily it balances speed and stability, even when running light or trimmed high.

At midrange, it offers a steady, responsive feel that keeps your boat flat, fast, and efficient. When you push it harder, the prop’s large-diameter geometry keeps grip strong through aggressive turns, giving you confidence at any speed.

Mercury’s Performance Vent System (PVS) lets you fine-tune your setup by swapping vent plugs — open them for faster acceleration and stronger hole shots, or close them for firm grip when running heavier loads. It’s a small tweak that makes a big difference in how your boat performs day to day.

Built from premium stainless steel, the Tempest Plus resists flexing, corrosion, and wear. It translates every ounce of engine power into thrust, giving you smoother handling, consistent speed, and longer-lasting reliability on the water.

Why It’s a Strong Choice

The Mercury Tempest Plus QS8M0151385 stands out for its balance of lift, power, and control — a true all-around performer for serious boaters. Its stainless steel build ensures superior strength and longevity, while the polished finish keeps it looking sharp after every run.

Compared to aluminum props, it delivers more bite, sharper response, and greater speed efficiency, making it a smart upgrade for anyone running a mid- to high-horsepower engine. Its adaptability through the PVS system means it performs just as well for tournament anglers as it does for weekend boaters.

If you’re chasing both speed and precision, the Tempest Plus delivers — giving you that crisp, confident connection to the water that every boater wants.
