New for 2015 is the addition of a second vent hole on the exhaust tube of the popular Pro Finish Bravo I XS outboard propeller. The dual holes, designed for Mercury’s patented Performance Vent System (PVS), enable the user to fine tune the amount of venting needed for quick planing. New half-inch pitch models enable owners to fine tune their smaller performance-oriented center consoles, bay, multi-species and bass boats. And, for some applications, the half-inch pitch will offer additional bow lift for enhanced efficiency and top speed. The stainless steel prop, designed for use on Mercury V-6 OptiMax, OptiMax XS and OptiMax ProXS outboards, features four robust blades and a tuned exhaust tube. The shortened exhaust tube provides greater top-end speed, while minimizing stern lift for improved boat handling and performance. The Bravo I XS offers excellent time-to-plane performance, sweet mid-range punch, and awesome top-end speeds for bass, flats, cat flats, and performance center-console bay boats. Dual PVS and half inch pitch sizes enable performance four stroke owners to dial-in their engine for peak performance in a variety of applications. The right-hand rotation, 15.25-inch diameter Bravo I XS is available in the following pitch ranges: 22, 23, 23.5, 24, 25, 25.5, 26, 27, 27,.5, 28, 29, 29.5, 30, 31, 31.5 inches. Pro Max
The Pro Max propeller was developed to help light to medium weight hulls get up on plane faster and improve top end speeds. The stainless steel prop is enhanced with the addition of Mercury’s patented Performance Vent System (PVS). PVS enables the user to fine tune the amount of venting needed for even quicker planing and enhanced acceleration.
The Pro Max features Mercury Racing Pro E.T. drag race blades combined with a custom through-hub exhaust tube. This unique combination provides a 33 percent faster hole shot that the Pro E.T. and top-end speeds up to three mph faster. It is a perfect match for OptiMax 300XS, OptiMax ProXS, Verado 400R and Verado Pro FourStroke applications on hulls with natural bow lift (bass, flats, cat flats, high performance sport boats and race boats). The right-hand rotation, 14.50-inch diameter Pro Max is available in the following pitch ranges: Pro Finish: 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 inches. Lab Finish: 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 inches.
