Bravo 1 LT (15 1/4 x 25") Mercury LH Propeller, 48-8M0142103
Description
When it comes to propellers, “performance” is often measured by top speed alone. In reality, great all-around performance also requires outstanding hole shot, on-plane efficiency and fuel economy under a load. The Pro Finish Bravo I® LT outboard propeller covers all the performance bases and significantly optimizes ride quality. The flared exhaust tube lifts the stern. This brings the bow down for a more level ride. The result is improved handling and a dryer, more comfortable boating experience. Counter-rotation models expand the Bravo I® LT application from right-hand rotation, single engine outboard bay boats and multi-species hulls to multi-engine outboard center consoles.
- Hub kit is sold separately. Please see the fitment information provided to select the correct hub kit for your application.
- Enabled with 4-hole Performance Vent System (PVS) to allow optimal hole-shot customization.
- The Bravo 1 LT "Long Tube" propeller has a extended and flared exhaust tube that is designed to lift the stern and bring the bow down.
- Get that extra performance with a pro-finish. Leading edges are thinned, cup heights are blueprinted, and every blade is zero balanced by hand.
Important Note:
- According to the Mercury propeller guide handbook if running a 3-blade propeller move up 1" of pitch to maintain similar RPMs.
- OR if replacing the Fury, Revolution 4 or a standard Bravo I propeller move up 2" of pitch to maintain similar RPMS.
- Upgrades from the Bravo I FS to the Bravo I LT require no change in pitch size when matching engine RPM.

We try to keep several of the Bravo I LT propellers on hand and readily available. However, these propellers are "made-to-order" by Mercury. Thus they take longer to re-stock in the event that we sell out. We always advise that you contact us prior to purchasing to confirm availability.
Bravo 1 LT propellers have a longer barrel and flared exhaust tube, designed to lift the stern and bring the bow down, for a more level ride on heavy-weight boat applications.

The patented Mercury Performance Vent System (PVS) enables operators to dial in a propeller for peak planing performance. The PVS system works in concert with robust blades that are hand blended and balanced by Mercury Racing propeller lab artisans.

Increased RPMs for Better Performance
Because Pro Finished propellers typically generate another 200 RPMs compared to stock propellers you can turn a higher pitch for more top-end speed.
Longer Barrel
The Bravo 1 LT "Long Tube" propeller has a extended and flared exhaust tube that is designed to lift the stern and bring the bow down.

Will This Propeller Fit My Engine?
Propeller Fitment
With the interchangeable Flo-Torq hub kit the Bravo 1 LT propeller will fit a variety of makes and models, outboards and sterndrives.
Use our detailed fitment information to verify which hub kit you need to adapt the propeller to your application.
Mercury 90 - 115 Command Thrust Outboards (15-Tooth Spline)

Mercury Mercruiser Alpha & Bravo One Sterndrives
Non-Mercury Outboards (4.75" Gearcase)
During the Pro Finish process leading edges of the propeller are thinned (not as thin as a Lab Finish), cup heights are blueprinted, and every prop is zero balanced by hand.
Pro Finish propellers typically generate about 200 more RPM compared to stock, and with the fine tuned leading edges and blueprinted cup heights, customers will benefit from much better RPM matching on multi-engine applications.
Because of the "Pro Finish" blade thinning and zero balancing an adjustment in pitch may be necessary.
It is recommended that to maintain similar engine operating rpm in single engine applications; Switching from a Tempest Plus to the Bravo 1 FS would require a 1-inch increase in pitch. A switch from the Fury and Revolution 4 to the Bravo 1 FS would require a 1.5-inch increase in pitch.
The Bravo 1 LT features a longer and flared barrel designed to increase stern lift. The longer barrel acts almost like a trim tab which lifts the stern and lowers the bow, thus creating a more level ride.
The Bravo 1 LT works best when paired with heavy weight bass boat applications, bay boats, multi-species boats and center consoles.
