The Mercury Fury propeller is the top of line Mercury bass boat fishing propeller. It is a popular choice amongst many of the top bass fishing boat brands including; Ranger, Skeeter, Tracker, Triton, Lund and many more.
So, what makes the Mercury Fury propeller the go to prop for bass fishing? Well, it starts with the larger blade surface area. If you compare the Fury propeller to other popular bass fishing propellers, you'll notice that the Fury has a smaller diameter than most other options. However, despite this smaller diameter, the Fury propeller still has a robust blade surface area. The larger blade area of the Fury propeller allows for exceptional acceleration and lift. That added hull lift, and top of the line acceleration, is ideal for heavy-weight bass boat applications. When your boat is tournament loaded, with gas tanks and live wells full, the Fury is perfect for getting that added weight up and moving.
The Fury propeller features some aggressive angles in order to keep the diameter small, but the blade area large. These aggressive angles, and thinner blades, are only possible because of the Mercury X7 Alloy that it is made with. The Mercury X7 Alloy is Mercury's proprietary stainless steel which is 30% stronger and 4x more durable than conventional stainless steel.
The Fury propeller also features Mercury's Performance Vent System (PVS). Because of the larger blade surface area of the Fury propeller it is often recommended to run the Fury propeller with the PVS holes completely open. This allows for exhaust to aerate the water around the blades. Which it turn, makes it easier to for the larger blades of the Fury to turn up quickly. Once the propeller has spun up, gripped the water, and began to accelerate the PVS holes essentially "close off" and the exhaust begins to flow strictly through the hub of the propeller.
In conclusion, there truly is no compromise when running the Fury propeller. It is the ideal propeller for bass boat applications with exceptional acceleration with added weight and phenomenal top end speed.

I use the Fury 22P on my 2023 Ranger Z518 with a Mercury 150HP Pro XS. I have it relatively fully loaded and it still jumps out of the hole. I am debating trying a Bravo 1 FS propeller as I’ve heard that works well too. But the Fury prop certainly works well with bass boats.

I have a Nitro Z20 with a 2017 Mercury Optimax Pro XS 250. I am currently using a Fury 24P and it turns roughly 5700-5800 RPMs at wide open throttle with a top speed of 64-68 depending on the weather. Do you believe that I am currently running the correct propeller for my application? Or should I make an adjustment?
