# Mercury Bravo One FS Pro Finished 15.25 x 23 RH Propeller – 8M0064468

## Product Overview

The **Mercury Bravo One FS Pro Finished 15.25 x 23 RH Propeller – 8M0064468** is a high-performance four-blade stainless-steel propeller engineered for demanding outboard and sterndrive applications. Designed by Mercury Racing, the Bravo I FS combines strong time-to-plane performance, mid-range acceleration, efficient cruising characteristics, and impressive top-end performance.

With a **15.25-inch diameter and 23-inch pitch**, this right-hand rotation propeller is designed for compatible medium- to heavy-load applications. It is particularly suited to bass boats, flats boats, cat flats, bay boats, offshore center consoles, and sterndrive deck and V-bottom boats.

## High-Performance Four-Blade Design

The **Mercury Bravo I FS 15.25 x 23P** features four robust stainless-steel blades designed to provide strong acceleration, excellent grip, and responsive handling. The four-blade configuration helps the propeller maintain traction during acceleration and maneuvering while delivering the lift needed for demanding boat applications.

Mercury Racing describes the Bravo I FS as being engineered for strong **time-to-plane performance, mid-range punch, mid-range cruise, and top-end speed**, making it a versatile performance propeller for boats carrying medium to heavy loads.

## Pro Finish Construction

The Bravo I FS Pro Finished propeller receives Mercury Racing’s specialized **Pro Finish** treatment. Its blades are hand blended and balanced through Mercury Racing’s propeller development and finishing process, helping provide consistent blade geometry and performance.

The propeller’s precision construction is designed for boaters who want a premium stainless-steel propeller capable of handling demanding performance applications.

## Tuned Exhaust Tube

The Bravo I FS incorporates a **tuned exhaust tube designed to minimize stern lift while enhancing bow lift, handling, and overall boat performance**. This design characteristic helps the propeller maintain the desired running attitude while accelerating and cruising.

The combination of four blades and the tuned exhaust design makes the Bravo I FS particularly suitable for performance-oriented boats where lift, control, and acceleration are important.

## Performance Vent System

The **Mercury Bravo I FS Pro Finished 8M0064468** uses Mercury’s patented **Performance Vent System (PVS)**. The system allows operators to adjust the propeller’s ventilation characteristics to help optimize planing and acceleration performance for a particular boat and engine setup.

Mercury notes that four-stroke outboard and sterndrive applications generally use the Bravo I FS with all four vent holes fitted with solid PVS fittings. Larger, heavier multiple-engine applications may benefit from removing one or two fittings to improve planing performance.

## Applications

The Bravo I FS is designed for a wide range of compatible marine applications, including:

* Bass boats
* Flats boats
* Cat flats boats
* Bay boats
* Offshore center consoles
* Sterndrive deck boats
* Sterndrive V-bottom boats
* Other medium- to heavy-load performance applications

Mercury Racing specifically positions the Bravo I FS for both **outboard and sterndrive applications**.

## Fitment Information

Propeller fitment depends on the exact engine, gearcase, propeller shaft, hub system, boat configuration, and recommended operating RPM. The Bravo I FS is available in numerous pitch and rotation combinations, so the **23P RH configuration should not be assumed to fit every Mercury-powered boat**.

The required hub kit is sold separately. Verify the appropriate hub and shaft configuration for the specific outboard or sterndrive before installation.

Mercury also notes that switching from a **Tempest Plus to a Bravo I FS in a single-engine application generally requires approximately a 1-inch increase in pitch to maintain similar engine operating RPM**, while switching from a Fury or Revolution 4 to a Bravo I FS generally requires approximately a 2-inch increase.

## Why Choose the Mercury Bravo One FS 15.25 x 23 RH?

The **Mercury Bravo One FS Pro Finished 15.25 x 23 RH Propeller 8M0064468** is an excellent performance-oriented choice for compatible boats requiring strong acceleration, reliable grip, bow lift, and controlled handling.

Its four-blade stainless-steel construction, Pro Finish treatment, tuned exhaust tube, and adjustable PVS system make it particularly well suited to medium- and heavy-load marine applications where balanced performance from hole shot through cruising and top speed is important.

For the best results, match the propeller to the boat’s engine, gearcase, load, and recommended wide-open-throttle RPM.
