Description
Mercury 8M8026600 SpitFire 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller, 12.5" Diameter x 19" Pitch, Right-Hand Rotation
The Mercury SpitFire 8M8026600 is a performance-focused 4-blade aluminum propeller built to improve acceleration and handling without giving up the everyday usability boaters want. The SpitFire design is known for quick planing, strong bite in turns, and steadier tracking—especially helpful when you’re carrying passengers and gear, towing, or running in choppy water where a prop that holds can make the boat feel more confident.
This 12.5" diameter x 19" pitch SpitFire is constructed from Mercalloy aluminum, giving you a durable prop that can handle real-world use while keeping cost and serviceability in check versus stainless. It also includes a Flo-Torq II hub kit (835257K1), providing built-in shock absorption designed to help protect the drivetrain from minor impacts.
Applications
- Improving holeshot and acceleration for quicker planing
- Stronger holding power and better grip in turns vs many 3-blade aluminum props
- Smoother low-speed control and steadier handling, especially with heavier loads
- Common fitment group: 40–60hp BigFoot/Command Thrust 4-stroke and 75–125hp 2- and 4-stroke applications (verify your exact engine/gearcase)
