Quicksilver Propellers

Quicksilver Propellers: Built by Mercury Marine, Trusted on the Water

Quicksilver, a division of Mercury Marine, has earned a reputation as one of the most trusted names in marine propulsion. When it comes to propellers, that reputation is backed by a broad lineup of aluminum and stainless steel designs engineered to match everything from casual cruising to high-performance running. With 71 propeller SKUs spanning a wide range of engine brands and horsepower ratings, Quicksilver makes it straightforward to find the right prop for virtually any boat.

A Propeller Lineup for Every Application

Quicksilver manufactures a complete range of propellers for many popular outboard and sterndrive engine brands — and just about any on-water activity. Their catalog covers aluminum and stainless options compatible with motors from Yamaha, Evinrude, Tohatsu, Suzuki, Honda, and Volvo Penta , in addition to Mercury and Mariner applications. Whether you need an entry-level aluminum prop for a small tiller outboard or a high-grade stainless blade for a performance sterndrive, Quicksilver has a solution.

Standout Product Lines

Quicksilver's propeller lineup spans a diverse range of named series, each optimized for specific performance profiles:

• Black Diamond: The Black Diamond aluminum propeller is available for a wide range of 6–140 HP outboards , making it one of Quicksilver's most versatile and accessible options for everyday boaters.
• Q4: The Q4 is a stainless-steel, four-blade prop designed for versatile performance across a wide range of boat types, featuring aggressive geometry and Quicksilver's combative Q4 blade design that delivers exceptional lift, superior holeshot, and unmatched mid-range power.
• Silverado: The Silverado stainless propeller is designed for 60–140 HP outboards across multiple brands including Tohatsu and Honda , blending durable construction with responsive performance.
• Thunderbolt, Lightspeed, Typhoon & More: Quicksilver's propeller family also includes the Thunderbolt, Lightspeed, Typhoon, Nemesis, Torrent, and QST series , each targeting distinct horsepower ranges and boating styles — from watersports to offshore fishing.

The Flo-Torq Hub System

One of the features that sets Quicksilver propellers apart is the Flo-Torq hub system. Many Quicksilver props feature the interchangeable Flo-Torq Hub Kit, which allows for variable fitment across different engine brands while also helping to reduce engine and drivetrain stress. Select models, like the Q4, are equipped with the Performance Vent System (PVS) and are designed to work with the Flo-Torq II or Flo-Torq SSR hub system. This modular approach means a single prop can often be adapted to multiple applications simply by swapping the hub kit — a practical advantage for boaters who own more than one vessel.

Aluminum vs. Stainless: Choosing the Right Quicksilver Prop

Quicksilver offers both aluminum and stainless steel constructions to suit different budgets and performance needs. Aluminum props are lighter and more forgiving on impact — a practical choice for shallow-water use or boaters who want a cost-effective spare. Stainless props, like the Silverado and Q4, hold their pitch more precisely under load, delivering better top-end speed and efficiency for higher-horsepower setups. Whether you're towing a skier or racing to a faraway fishing hole, there's a Quicksilver propeller that can provide the hole shot, grip, and efficiency to suit your needs.
