GENERAL INFORMATION

eng

Determining the Correct Pitch size

‑ First, check the full

throttle RPM under normal load condition. If the full throttle RPM

is within the recommended range, select a replacement or

upgrade propeller with the same pitch as the current propeller.

• Adding 1 inch of pitch will reduce the full throttle RPM by

150 to 200

• Subtracting 1 inch of pitch will increase full throttle RPM by

150 to 200

• Upgrading from a 3‑blade propeller to a 4‑blade propeller

will generally decrease full throttle RPM by 50 to 100

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage to the engine. Never use a

propeller which allows the engine to exceed the recommended

full throttle RPM range when under normal full throttle operation.

PROPELLER MATERIAL

Most propellers manufactured by Mercury Marine are made from

either aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum is suitable for

general purpose use and is standard equipment on many new

boats. Stainless steel is over five times more durable than

aluminum and typically provides performance gains in

acceleration and top end speed due to design efficiencies.

Stainless steel propellers also come in a larger variety of sizes

and styles that allow you to dial in the ultimate performance for

your boat.

3 BLADE VS. 4 BLADE

Available in many sizes of both aluminum and stainless, 3 and

4‑blade propellers have unique performance characteristics. In

general, 3‑blade propellers offer good all around performance

and higher top speed than 4‑blade propellers. However, 4‑blade

propellers are usually faster to plane and more efficient at

cruising speeds, but lack the top end speed of a 3‑blade

propeller.
