Performance Propellers: Teague’s Top Four Contenders

Prop
While a custom boat might boast hundreds of horsepower, one of the most important aspects of a fast boat is its propeller. Our staff at Teague Custom Marine understands the importance of the right propeller which is why we offer a wide range of props, including the full line of Mercury Marine and Mercury Racing propellers. Here’s a look at the top four propellers.

Mercury Marine Bravo 1 Four Blade Propeller

If you’re in the market for a new propeller that offers the best overall performance with few limitations, consider the Mercury Marine Bravo 1 Four Blade propeller. These are the most common propellers for high performance applications and feature excellent speed and handling. They’re quick to plane, offer improved fuel economy, and have superior throttle response. Along with the purchase of each propeller is a Bravo 1/1X (1-inch propshaft) 400-horsepower plus Hub Kit.

The Mercury Marine Bravo 1 Four Blade propeller features a 22-36” pitch range and is 15.25” in diameter. To determine if this is the right prop for your boat, contact Teague Custom Marine today.

Mercury Marine Mirage Plus Three Blade Propeller

The Mercury Marine Mirage Plus Three Blade propeller is the prop that started it all for Mercury Marine. While the three blade design revolutionized the high performance propeller industry decades ago, today it is still one of the bestselling propellers available from Mercury. Designed with a larger diameter option and high output blade geometry, it is the perfect choice for mid-speed, deep x-dimension conventional V-Bottom boats.

The Mercury Marine Mirage Plus Three Blade propeller has a 13-29” pitch range and a diameter range of 14.75-16”. Plus, if purchased, this prop also comes with the same Bravo Hub Kit as the Brave 1 four blade propeller above.

Mercury Racing Maximus Lab Finish Five Blade Propeller

Looking to step it up a level? The Mercury Racing Maximus Lab Finish Five Blade propeller is the solution. Not only is it available in a wide range of diameters and hub lengths, but its blades are thinned in areas for optimum performance. While these props might offer similar top end performance as the Bravo 1 four blade, they provide unmatched planning and mid-range hook-up on heavily loaded single engine applications like party cats and deck boats.

The Mercury Racing Maximus Lab Finished five blade propeller has a 24-34” pitch range and features three different diameters including 15, 15.25, and 15.625.” Not sure which is best for your application? Contact Teague Custom Marine today and we will help you choose the right one.

Mercury Racing Forged CNC Cleavers Pro Finished Propellers

Teague Custom Marine is proud to offer the top-of-the-line Mercury Racing Forged CNC Cleaver Pro Finished propellers. These props are considered the ultimate in performance and durability for high-end surface drive applications. Even though these have been tested and proven by Mercury Marine, they’re currently used exclusively by the AMSOIL Super Cat racing team and a top pick by manufacturers like Cigarette, DCB, MTI, Outerlimits, and Skater.

Depending on your boat, Teague Custom Marine can outfit it with a Mercury Racing Forged CNC Cleaver Pro Finished propeller, equipped with a 26-42” pitch range and five or six blades. It features a diameter range of 15-18” and a 15/18/21” rake.
