Mercury & Mariner Outboards - OEM Quicksilver QST5 (High-Five) Stainless Steel Propellers
Deliver explosive acceleration and smooth, even pull with the Quicksilver QST-5 series—five-blade stainless-steel propellers engineered from the OEM Mercury High-Five propellers for tow sports, light bass rigs, and rough-water control. The five-blade geometry delivers class-leading hole shot, excellent bow lift, and low steering torque, so you get on plane fast and stay hooked up in the chop.
Where the QST-5 Performs Best:
- Tow sports & quick plane-out: Five blades load the water for instant bite and powerful launches.
- Rough-water stability: Smooth, even pull keeps speed and grip when the lake turns messy.
- Bass & runabout setups: Ideal on many 135–225 HP outboards and compatible MerCruiser sterndrives (Alpha/Bravo One/TRS) in common 17"–21" pitches. Some applications extend up to 90–300 HP Mercury platforms—see fitment notes.
Hub & interchangeability
QST-5 utilizes the Quicksilver Flo-Torq II modular hub system (sold separately) for easy service and repower flexibility, allowing you to select hub kits by engine spline/shaft. Select models are also noted to work with Michigan Wheel XHS hub kits. Always match your specific engine/gearcase before purchase.
