Mercury Bravo 1 FS Pro Finished Propeller

The Mercury Racing Bravo 1 FS Pro Finished Propeller is a premium four-blade stainless-steel propeller engineered for demanding outboard and sterndrive applications. Designed for medium- to heavy-load boats, the Bravo 1 FS delivers strong time-to-plane performance, responsive mid-range acceleration, excellent handling, efficient cruising characteristics, and strong top-end performance.

With its 15.25-inch diameter, four-blade configuration, and Mercury Racing Pro Finish, the Bravo 1 FS is designed for performance-oriented bass boats, flats boats, bay boats, offshore center consoles, and sterndrive applications. Mercury Racing offers the Bravo 1 FS in multiple pitches and both right-hand and left-hand rotations.

Mercury Racing Bravo 1 FS Performance

The Bravo 1 FS is designed around a four-blade configuration that provides strong grip and control while maintaining excellent acceleration and high-speed performance. Its tuned exhaust tube is designed to minimize stern lift while improving bow lift, handling, and overall boat performance.

The propeller also incorporates Mercury’s Performance Vent System (PVS). The PVS system allows ventilation characteristics to be adjusted to suit the individual boat and engine setup. Mercury notes that typical four-stroke outboard and sterndrive applications use the supplied solid PVS fittings, while larger and heavier multi-engine applications may benefit from removing one or two fittings to improve planing performance.

Pro Finished Construction

The Bravo 1 FS receives Mercury Racing’s Pro Finish treatment. The finishing process includes precision work on the leading edge, matched cup heights, zero balancing, and a durable polished finish. This attention to detail is intended to provide consistent blade performance and a refined propeller surface for demanding marine applications.

The robust stainless-steel blades are hand blended and balanced through Mercury Racing’s propeller laboratory process, helping the propeller deliver consistent performance across demanding operating conditions.

Applications

The Mercury Bravo 1 FS Pro Finished Propeller is designed for a broad range of performance marine applications, including bass boats, flats boats, cat flats, bay boats, offshore center consoles, and sterndrive deck and V-bottom boats.

Mercury Racing lists the Bravo 1 FS for two-stroke and four-stroke outboard and sterndrive applications, with an application range of up to 500 HP for outboards and up to 600 HP for sterndrives.

The propeller is particularly suited to boats that regularly operate with medium or heavy loads and require a combination of acceleration, planing performance, handling, cruise performance, and top-end speed.

PVS Performance Vent System

The integrated Performance Vent System gives boat owners the ability to tune propeller ventilation according to their particular setup. The supplied solid fittings can be used for normal applications, while larger or heavier multi-engine boats may benefit from changing the PVS configuration to improve planing characteristics.

This adjustability makes the Bravo 1 FS a versatile option for boat owners looking to optimize acceleration and planing performance without changing the entire propeller design.

Specifications

Important Fitment Information

Because the Bravo 1 FS Pro Finished is offered in multiple diameters/pitches and both rotation directions, the exact propeller part number depends on the selected pitch and rotation. For example, Mercury’s current specification chart lists different part numbers for 20″, 21″, 22″, 23″, 24″, 25″, 26″, 27″, and other pitches.

Always verify the engine model, horsepower, gearcase, propeller shaft, rotation, pitch, and recommended operating RPM before purchasing. The required hub kit is sold separately.

Why Choose the Mercury Bravo 1 FS?

The Mercury Bravo 1 FS Pro Finished Propeller is an excellent choice for boat owners who demand a high-performance four-blade propeller capable of handling demanding loads while maintaining strong acceleration and handling.

Its combination of four-blade stainless-steel construction, Mercury Racing Pro Finish, PVS adjustability, tuned exhaust design, and precision balancing makes it a strong performance upgrade for compatible Mercury-powered boats and sterndrives.
