Performance Benefits

The Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller was built for those who notice — and appreciate — every detail of how their boat performs. Its aggressive four-blade design grabs the water with authority, pulling you onto plane up to 25% faster than comparable three-blade props. The difference is instant — that satisfying push forward, the smooth lift, and the quiet power that feels dialed-in from the start.

Once you’re up and running, the Nemesis continues to impress. It holds its grip through tight turns and rough chop, keeping your boat balanced and predictable. No sliding, no wandering — just smooth, confident handling that feels like second nature. Whether you’re navigating winding channels or wide-open water, the Nemesis gives you the confidence to run exactly the way you want.

Durability is another area where the Nemesis earns its reputation. The high-strength aluminum construction, paired with the glossy Phantom Black finish, stands up to corrosion, scratches, and the wear of regular use. It is tough enough to handle a bump from shallow debris but forgiving enough to avoid serious damage — a rare combination that keeps you out on the water longer and in the shop less. Maintenance is simple, and performance remains crisp season after season.

If you’re looking for stainless-steel-level performance without the price tag, the Quicksilver Nemesis 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller hits that sweet spot. It’s engineered for everyday boaters who want precision, control, and reliability in a design that’s easy to maintain. You’ll enjoy quicker takeoffs, smoother cruising, and sharper response across all speeds — the kind of improvement you can feel from the first launch.

This prop isn’t just about numbers — it’s about confidence. Whether you’re loading the pontoon for a family day, setting out for a morning of fishing, or chasing speed across open water, the Nemesis gives your boat that perfect mix of punch, lift, and control that keeps you smiling all day.
