Mercury & Mariner Outboards - OEM Quicksilver Q3 (Enertia) Stainless Steel Outboard Propellers
Meet the Quicksilver Q3—a stainless-steel, 3-blade performance propeller engineered to deliver a quicker hole shot, stronger mid-range power, and higher top speed on modern outboards and sterndrives. Its high-rake, thin-blade design improves lift and efficiency, helping boats stay on plane at slower speeds while reducing blow-outs in hard turns. Designed from the OEM Mercury Enertia geometry, the Q3 is a go-to upgrade for center consoles, high-horsepower pontoons, and sterndrive runabouts seeking premium stainless performance without guesswork. Many models feature a PVS (Performance Vent System) for fine-tuning exhaust. Available in 11-21 pitch right-hand standard rotation options. Fits 90-115 Mercury Command Thrust Gearcases.
