Mercury Bravo Three Propellers
Maximize thrust, tracking, and control with Mercury’s Bravo Three dual, counter-rotating propeller system for MerCruiser sterndrives. These matched front/rear propeller sets deliver confident hole shot, precise low-speed maneuvering for docking, and steady on-plane efficiency on everything from runabouts to cruisers and pontoon tri-toons.
How to Choose a Bravo Three Propeller Set
- Matched pair: Bravo Three propellers are sold as front and rear sets engineered to work together. Always select a matched pair for correct pitch and diameter.
- Pitch selection: Target your engine’s recommended WOT RPM. Lower pitch = stronger hole shot / heavier loads; higher pitch = more top-end (within spec).
- Gear ratio & load: Consider your drive ratio, typical crew, altitude, and gear—these factors shift the ideal pitch.
- Rotation: Standard right-hand helm applications use a counter-rotating set; verify the correct front and rear part numbers for your drive.
- Baseline: Use your current pitch and WOT RPM as a starting point and adjust 1–2 inches of pitch if needed.
