Bravo I LT
What’s new: Counter-rotation models that expand the Bravo I LT’s application from right-hand rotation, single-engine outboard bay boats and multi-species hulls to multi-engine outboard center consoles.
Applications: “The Pro Finish Bravo I LT outboard propeller delivers hole shot, on-plane efficiency and fuel economy under a load. Above everything else, the Bravo I LT offers an optimized ride quality. The flared exhaust tube lifts the stern. This brings the bow down for a more level ride. The result is improved handling and a dryer, more comfortable boating experience.
Bravo I OC
What’s new: Four right-hand rotation pitch offerings (22-1/2″, 23-1/2″ and 24-1/2″).
Applications: “Originally designed for high-powered, twin-outboard performance catamarans, the four-blade Bravo I OC is enhancing performance of Verado 400R outboard-powered flats cat boats as well. A shortened exhaust barrel settles the stern, providing a natural bow lift for reduced drag and enhanced speeds.”

What’s new: Pitch offerings from 13 to 17 inches in one-inch increments that support Mercury Marine/Mercury Racing outboards from 150 hp to 400 hp.
Applications: “The Mercury Racing Revolution 4® XP propeller provides extreme precision when dialing in multi-engine, stepped-bottom performance center consoles (twin, triple, quad and quint installations) and single-engine bay boats. The standard-length exhaust tube, in addition to reducing the time to plane, also provides stern lift for maximum hull performance and an improved ride in a variety of conditions.”
