Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller for Mercury and MerCruiser Engines

I replaced a 3 blade Volvo Penta prop with this 4 blade Nemesis, using the proper hub kit. My boat (a 2008 Glastron GT with a 5.0 GL) had a 19 pitch prop and it was over revving just a bit. I ended up using the 19 pitch Nemesis and it dropped about 200 rpm (which is what I was after). Better hole shot and plane speed. It's just a few MPH slower than the 3 blade. Over all, it's been great.

Put this on my 2007 sea ray 205 that came with a three blade. Before it took forever to get on a plain and hard turns it would take forever to get going again also super inconsistent at low speed for wakeboarding. Now it launches and gets right up on a plain, it comes right out of a hard turn like nothing and super consistent at low speeds. I highly recommend this prop. It’s a totally different boat now

Make sure you get the hub kit for this prop sold separately! I own a 2001 Bayliner Capri 2150, a 3,000 lb 21 foot boat bow rider with a 5.0 L MerCruiser Alpha One stern drive with a 1.62 gear ratio lower unit. We like to take the kids tubing, so acceleration is important to me. I was currently running a quicksilver black diamond aluminum 15.5 inch three blade prop with a 19 inch pitch. We would typically load the boat with a 35 gallon tank of gas, 3 adults with 3 kids, food, cooler, and gear coming in with the gross weight of appoximately 4,361 lbs. When I was pulling a 3 person tube the bow would come up real high and take a minute to get on the plane. The boat would want to plane at about 23 miles an hour but my tube riders liked it closer to 20 miles an hour so i had to keep adjusting throttle to balance speed. My top speed was around 46 miles an hour. I switched to the nemesis 14“ x 19“ pitch 4 blade prop. Took it out today, and I was immediately satisfied with how it shot out of the hole! The acceleration felt good. It quickly climbed to top speed of 42 mph at 4.200 rpm when trimmed perfect. I backed it down and could maintain plane as low 16 mph! The bite the prop has gives me way more control and traction though the entire throttle only giving up 4 mph of top speed compared to the 3 blade prop. The recommended wide open throttle of my engine is 4,500 to 5,000 rpm max. So I feel like if I had a lighter load I may get that range, but today I was running a 4,000 lb gross weight with people and gear included. My max rpm was 4,200 rpm at 42 mph. Overall I’m super happy with the performance of this prop, definitely worth the upgrade! I hope this review helps.

Great prop. 3000lb landing craft w Merc 150, better hole shot and top speed vs the 3 blade

I love it and it works perfectly for my 24ft Cabin Cruiser

I replaced the original 3 blade prop after doing a lot of research about the HP , pitch , diameter etc to be the best match for our boat pulling a wakeboard. This works great for out of the hole, you lose a little top end speed, but we didn't care since we're mostly running 20-25 MPH. Nice OEM prop.

I have a 1989 crest liner with the 4.3 mercruiser. The prop has way better hole shot then the 3 blade I had on before and I only lost 3 mph on the top end. I had a 21 pitch three glade and went with the 19 pitch nemesis worked great!

I have a maxum 2400scr 5.0 1995 I have run this boat for 10 years on the a 3 blade 14.4x17 al prop . Always struggled to plane with wieght. AJust bought this absolutely awesome. 14x17 4 blade nemesis. I wish I did this sooner. It's like the boat weighs half as much. Cruise at 3500-3800 25mph wot around 4300. I

Never tried a 4 blade before. I have always run a 19 pitch 3 blade on my boat. Switched to a 17 Pitch 4 blade and I’m very happy. The hole shot is fast with very little bow lift. The top speed is about the same. The boat seems to ride higher in the water at the back creating a muck smaller wake. It will stay on plane at a much slower speed too. I am very impressed.

I was surprised it is much better than what I was expecting. It fixed all my problems.

Made a large differance on the perfourance of the boat

Excellente Economie et performance, idéal pour tirer skieur et trip, sort de l'eau aussi bien qu'une 19 pitch 3 pale, très satisfait!!

Performs great, better low speed handling & hole shot. No loss of top end speed over the Mercury 3 bladed prop.
