Performance Benefits

Every push of the throttle with the Bravo Three 8M0123401 feels deliberate and powerful. Its contra-rotating propeller system — a 4-blade front prop working in perfect harmony with a smaller 3-blade rear prop — delivers incredible thrust and grip. You’ll notice the difference immediately when accelerating onto plane or carving through tight turns. The design virtually eliminates torque steer and prop walk, giving you smoother low-speed control and easier docking.

At cruising speed, this prop maintains a steady grip on the water, translating engine torque into clean, predictable thrust. The result is faster acceleration, better midrange response, and improved efficiency, so you’ll spend more time enjoying the ride and less time burning fuel. Even in rough water, the Bravo Three keeps your boat stable and responsive, holding its line with confidence.

The stainless-steel build resists flex under pressure, ensuring consistent performance no matter how hard you run it. Combined with the matte finish that defends against corrosion, it’s a propeller built for the long haul strong, steady, and built to perform in both saltwater and freshwater.
