Common Concerns Answered
Will this propeller fit my 115hp Mercury outboard?
This propeller is specifically designed for 115hp Mercury Outboard engines equipped with the TQ lower unit. Verify your engine's serial number and lower unit designation to ensure compatibility before purchase.
How does a 4-blade propeller compare to a 3-blade for my application?
A 4-blade propeller typically offers improved acceleration, better low-speed maneuverability, and reduced vibration compared to a 3-blade. This often translates to a better hole shot and more comfortable ride, especially for heavier boats or towing.
What kind of performance improvement can I expect?
Users often report enhanced hole shot performance, improved mid-range torque, and potentially a slight increase in top-end speed due to optimized blade design and pitch. Actual results vary based on hull design, boat weight, and engine condition.
