Mercury Trophy Sport Propeller

Mercury Trophy Sport Propeller

Summary

The Mercury Trophy Sport is a 4‑blade stainless‑steel propeller engineered for 30–60 HP outboards—including 25–30 HP BigFoot and Command Thrust models—offering an uncompromising blend of explosive hole‑shot, rapid planing even in skinny water, and top‑end speed. Its 10.625″ diameter with 12, 13, and 14″ pitch options lets anglers fine‑tune performance for flats, bay, walleye, bass boats, or inflatables. High‑rake blades with aggressive cupping deliver extra “bite” for tight‑channel maneuvering and choppy crossings, while the Flo‑Torq Reflex hub cushions drivetrain impacts and reduces steering loads—making it a go‑anywhere, do‑anything prop for serious fishermen.

Introduction

The Trophy Sport sits at the apex of Mercury’s performance propellers for small to mid‑range outboards. Designed expressly for 30–60 HP engines—and back‑ported to fit 25 HP BigFoot/Command Thrust units—it brings race‑inspired technology to everyday anglers. Whether you’re running a flats skiff or a bass boat, this prop delivers the quick “hop” out of the hole you need to plane fast and stay on plane in skinny water.

Design & Construction

• Four‑Blade Geometry
  The 4‑blade layout increases blade area for stronger thrust and lift compared to conventional 3‑blades.
• High‑Rake, Aggressive Cupping
  Each blade features a pronounced rake angle and cupping lip that helps trap water, boosting acceleration and bite in rough or shallow conditions.
• Material & Manufacture
  Crafted from a proprietary 15‑5 stainless‑steel alloy for exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, these props are precision‑engineered and finished in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, USA.
• Size & Pitch Options
  Standard diameter is 10.625″, with interchangeable pitch choices of 12″, 13″, or 14″ to optimize hole‑shot or top‑speed depending on boat load and hull type.
• Flo‑Torq Reflex Hub System
  Includes the Flo‑Torq II reflex hub to absorb prop‑strike shocks, protect the drivetrain, and eliminate clutch rattle for smoother shifts.

Performance Features

Explosive Hole‑Shot

The “Hop Out of the Hole” design lets boats plane within seconds of throttling up—even on skinny flats—so you spend more time cruising and less time chasing holes.

Fast Planing & Top Speed

Aggressive blade cupping and pitch options deliver a fine balance between brisk acceleration and high‑RPM efficiency, giving you the choice of blistering planing or maximum speed runs.

Enhanced Handling & Grip

Additional blade area provides extra bite when threading snaky back‑channel routes or cutting through choppy water, reducing steering loads and improving overall boat control.

Ideal Applications

• Flats Boats & Bay Skiffs
  Shallow‑water performance means you can punch into skinny flats without sacrificing speed or handling.
• Walleye & Bass Boats
  Precise trolling and quick plane‑on power make it perfect for multi‑species anglers chasing walleye or largemouth in variable water.
• Inflatable & Lightweight RIBs
  The lightweight yet strong stainless‑steel blades extract maximum thrust from sub‑60 HP motors for nimble response and punchy starts.

Installation & Compatibility

• Engine Fitment
  Recommended for Mercury/Mariner 40–60 HP outboards (all gearcases except BigFoot ’77+), plus 25 HP BigFoot/Command Thrust outboards, 30 HP two‑stroke, 30–55 HP SeaPro/Marathon series, and 30 HP 4‑stroke (’94–’05) models.
• Optional Hardware
  Always use the correct Flo‑Torq hub, thrust washers, aft washers, and prop nuts as outlined in your owner’s manual to ensure proper mounting and performance.

Conclusion

For anglers who demand both rugged hole‑shot and blistering top‑end speed in shallow or choppy conditions, the Mercury Trophy Sport delivers on every front. Its 4‑blade, high‑rake design, paired with a corrosion‑resistant stainless‑steel build and Flo‑Torq reflex hub, makes it the ultimate no‑compromise prop for flats, bay, walleye, bass, or inflatable boats. Equip your 30–60 HP outboard with the Trophy Sport and experience why seasoned fishermen swear by its performance.
