Mercury Bravo 1 XS Pro Finished Propeller
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.

During the Pro Finish process, the leading edges of the propeller are precisely thinned—though not to the extent of a Lab Finish—while the cup heights are meticulously blueprinted to ensure optimal performance. Each propeller is then carefully zero-balanced by hand, guaranteeing exceptional smoothness and precision.
Pro Finished propellers typically achieve an increase of approximately 200 RPM over stock models. With finely tuned leading edges and precisely engineered cup heights, this finishing process enhances overall performance and efficiency.
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.

Whether you’re looking for a replacement prop or want to optimize your boat’s speed, hole shot or efficiency, keep in mind that prop selection is about more than just pitch, diameter and number of blades. Performance is influenced by every aspect of a prop’s geometry, right down to cup, rake angle and edge shape.

The Mercury Bravo 1 XS propeller is ideal for my Ranger Boat. With my 250 HP Pro XS and all the vent holes open it jumps on plane.
Running the Bravo 1 XS propeller on my Bass Cat I gained 4 MPH and the handling is much better. Thank you.
The stability and hole-shot of the Bravo One XS propeller is perfect. Even when tournament loaded the hole-shot is great. This has been the best prop for my Triton bass boat.
