Description
Mercury 8M8026635 SpitFire 4-Blade Aluminum Propeller, 10.1" Diameter x 14" Pitch, Right-Hand Rotation
The Mercury SpitFire 8M8026635 is a 4-blade aluminum propeller built for boaters who want stronger low-end punch and a more controlled feel on the water. Compared to many 3-blade props, a 4-blade design like the SpitFire is known for helping boats plane quicker, hold better in turns, and maintain a steadier, more confident ride—especially when you’re carrying extra passengers, pulling riders, or dealing with chop.
With a 10.1" diameter and 14" pitch in right-hand rotation, this SpitFire is a popular setup for smaller outboards where acceleration, grip, and low-speed control matter. It’s a great option when you want improved bite without stepping up to a stainless prop.
Applications
- Improving holeshot and acceleration for quicker planing
- More grip and stability in turns vs many 3-blade aluminum props
- Smoother low-speed handling and better tracking
- Commonly used on compatible Mercury/Mariner outboards in the 40–60hp class (verify fitment by engine/gearcase)

- Inspect your prop hardware (thrust washer, nut, tabs/cotter, etc.) during installation and replace worn parts as needed.
