dc.Rv4163 props 2/8/07 5:01 PM Page 1 THE RIGHT PROPELLERS, THE EXACT PARTS. EACH HAS ITS OWN SET OF ADVANTAGES. SO THE QUESTION REALLY IS, HOW DO YOU PLAN TO USE YOUR PROPELLER? By far, the most popular material used for boat propellers today is aluminum. It's strong, easily repaired and is very resistant to corrosion. But stainless steel is nearly five times stronger. In fact, it's the strongest and most durable of all materials used for propellers. That means it's more resistant to the types of nicks and dings that normally plague aluminum propellers. It also means that stainless steel blades can be made thinner, for greater efficiency. Not surprisingly, stainless steel is far more resistant to corrosion than aluminum – although it can cause corrosion to nearby aluminum surfaces in saltwater if good anodic protection is not used. Also, while aluminum propellers are not designed for specific boat types, stainless steel blades are highly targeted – allowing you to choose exactly the performance you desire. PROPS BROCHURE Trim Flat: 11" x 8.5" Bleed: .125" Live: .187" ALUMINUM OR STEEL? YOUR AUTHORIZED MERCURY DEALER HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME ON THE WATER.

When it comes to propeller technology, only Mercury knows what it takes to make the best prop and prop systems. That’s because Mercury has a long, rich heritage of designing and building the best marine engines and drives available anywhere. It is this knowledge and experience that has led us to create the Flo-Torq® II. To put it simply, with the Flo-Torq II system, Mercury Propellers are compatible with and can increase the performance of almost all marine engines. But that’s only the beginning. Because it is specially designed to resist slippage, yet still flex during engine shifting, the Flo-Torq II cushions and protects the drivetrain from most impacts. Plus, just like all Mercury® engines, the Flo-Torq II system also provides unmatched corrosion protection – giving you peace of mind and the freedom to make the most of your time on the water. With 13 models to choose from, there’s a Mercury propeller that’s just right for you and your engine. WITH PVS, NOW YOU CAN GET MERCURY PERFORMANCE, MERCURY POWER AND MERCURY ACCELERATION – NO MATTER WHAT ENGINE YOU RUN. Thirteen different Mercury propeller styles are available with Flo-Torq II Thrust Washer Aft Adapter The Performance Vent System® (PVS®) is an EXCLUSIVE Mercury innovation that allows you to “custom tune” the venting of your propeller blades – giving you the power to optimize the acceleration and cruising performance of any engine. For example, when you accelerate, exhaust is drawn out of the vent hole. When the next prop blade strikes this aerated water, it pushes through much easier than it would in solid water – causing engine rpm to increase more rapidly. Once you’re on plane, the water flowing over the vent holes seals the exhaust, allowing the propeller to again run in solid, nonaerated water. Just by varying the size of the exhaust hole and controlling your engine’s rpm, you can eliminate sluggish performance or compensate for changes in load and altitude. It’s technology that you can only get with Mercury Propellers. HOW IT ALL WORKS Delrin ® Sleeve Tab Washer Flo-Torq II adapts to: • Evinrude ® • Honda® • Johnson® • Nissan® • Suzuki® • Tohatsu® ® • Volvo Penta • Yamaha® Spring rate curves charts Prop Nut PROBLEM: PROBLEM: Boat is sluggish getting on plane. Too much ventilation is slowing you down. SOLUTION: By using a large vent and allowing more air through, your engine’s rpm get up to speed faster, and your boat levels off quicker. Prop Sleeve At the heart of the Flo-Torq II System, Mercury uses brass and Delrin – an advanced, noncorrosive plastic from DuPont® – that virtually eliminate any opportunity for hub corrosion. In comparison, competitor systems use brass, aluminum and plastic components – resulting in a higher probability that the parts will corrode and fuse together. Thus making propeller replacement almost impossible. Shift Shock The Flo-Torq II System is more flexible than competitive hub systems and thus minimizes stress on the engine, engine drive and propeller when the engine is shifted into gear. SOLUTION: By sealing off the vent hole completely, your prop can now get the solid water it needs to propel through the water, thus optimizing performance and fuel efficiency. Breakaway When large underwater obstructions are encountered, the Delrin sleeve of the Flo-Torq II System is designed to “break away” following impact, ensuring that damage to the engine, engine drive and propeller is kept to a minimum. Better yet, the sleeve can easily be replaced by you! Competing hub systems take longer to break away after impact, increasing the risk of major damage to both the engine and drive. PROBLEM: Change in altitude or pulling heavier loads. SOLUTION: By experimenting, you can find the right amount of ventilation that produces maximum prop performance – no matter the altitude, load or temperature. dc.Rv4163 props 2/8/07 7:07 PM Page 6 PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT WITH FLO-TORQ II.

EACH HAS ITS OWN SET OF ADVANTAGES. SO THE QUESTION REALLY IS, HOW DO YOU PLAN TO USE YOUR PROPELLER? By far, the most popular material used for boat propellers today is aluminum. It's strong, easily repaired and is very resistant to corrosion. But stainless steel is nearly five times stronger. In fact, it's the strongest and most durable of all materials used for propellers. That means it's more resistant to the types of nicks and dings that normally plague aluminum propellers. It also means that stainless steel blades can be made thinner, for greater efficiency. Not surprisingly, stainless steel is far more resistant to corrosion than aluminum – although it can cause corrosion to nearby aluminum surfaces in saltwater if good anodic protection is not used. Also, while aluminum propellers are not designed for specific boat types, stainless steel blades are highly targeted – allowing you to choose exactly the performance you desire.
