Bravo 1 XS Pro Finished (15 1/4 x 31 1/2") Mercury RH Propeller, 48-8M0100109
Description
The Mercury Racing Pro Finish Bravo I® XS outboard propeller offers excellent time-to-plane performance, strong mid-range punch, and awesome top-end speed for bass, flats, cat flats, and performance center-console bay boats. The dual Mercury Performance Vent System® (PVS®) holes enable the operator to fine tune the amount of venting needed for quick planing. The stainless steel prop, designed for use on Mercury V6 OptiMax, OptiMax XS and OptiMax Pro XS outboards, features four robust blades and a tuned exhaust tube. The shortened exhaust tube provides greater top-end speed, while minimizing stern lift for improved boat handling and performance.
Half-inch pitch models enable operators to precision tune performance-oriented bass boats and center consoles for maximum power and efficiency. And, for some applications, the half-inch pitch will offer additional bow lift for enhanced top speed as well.
- Hub kit is sold separately. Please see the fitment information provided to select the correct hub kit for your application.
- Enabled with 8-hole Performance Vent System (PVS) to allow optimal hole-shot customization.
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.

We try to keep several of the Bravo I XS 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.

Dual Performance Vent System (PVS)
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 by Mercury propeller lab artisans.
Mercury Racing Pro Finish
Get that extra performance with a pro-finish. Leading edges are thinned, cup heights are blueprinted, and every blade is zero balanced by hand.
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.

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 XS would require a 1-inch increase in pitch. A switch from the Fury and Revolution 4 to the Bravo 1 XS would require a 1.5-inch increase in pitch.
