Australian-made hi-performance props

The company said it is the only Australian manufacturer to offer cutting-edge CNC-machining technology for creating perfect propellers for engines up to 1200hp.

CNC or Computer Numerical Control machining creates propellers that match exact specifications - every blade on a propeller is identical, and twin propellers will mirror each other in every sense - thereby maximising performance, said Mercury Racing.

Customers can also have specific adjustments made to their props to ensure they are tailored for their particular application. Further, each prop is examined and hand-finished by Mercury Racing technicians to ensure exact tolerances.

 "By combining this machinery with our specialist software, it means these propellers are simply the best that money can buy," claims Mick Hall, Mercury's spare parts manager.
 
"And because we manufacture in-house the turnaround time is much, much faster (than shopping and shipping from overseas).

"By buying locally you also don't suffer from exchange rates. With the Aussie dollar low, like it is at the moment, going offshore for your props can cost you 40 per cent more," Hall said.

With five and six-blade options, Mercury Racing's CNC-machined cleaver propellers come in 15 and 18in diameters with a pitch range of 26 to 40in, so there's an option for virtually any application.

Mercury claims to be the most experienced propeller company in the world, with more than 65 years research and development knowledge, and the largest range of performance propellers, which can be fitted to any brand of outboard just by changing the Flo Torque II hub.

Mercury Racing propellers are only available from Mercury Racing dealers.
