Enhanced Performance Vent System (PVS®) enables boaters to optimize forward and reverse thrust for greater control with Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO).

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 in altitude. It’s technology that you can only get from Mercury.

• Exhaust bubbles are released from the PVS holes located on the pressure side of the blades.
• Avoiding the propeller, the bubbles flow underneath the vessel, avoiding interaction with the propeller.
• By staying clear of the propeller, reverse thrust is optimized.

Designed specifically for the V10 platform, Mercury’s Flo-Torq X propeller hub might just be the most important part you never see. Not only does it flex during shift changes, reducing noise and vibration, but it also ensures that the power from the V10 outboard is transferred smoothly to the propeller. If your prop hits an underwater object, the Flo-Torq X hub helps absorb impact, providing added protection to the lower unit. Just pop in a new hub and you’re back on the water, no service call needed.

Mercury transforms aluminum and stainless steel into the highest-quality, best-performing, most-durable marine propellers in the world. Our experience, expertise and proprietary technologies – Flo Torq, Mercalloy®, X7® alloy and PVS® (Performance Vent System) – give you the competitive advantage. For best overall boat performance, there’s no substitute for a Mercury propeller.

Producing a world-renowned Mercury Marine prop takes time and skill, not to mention advanced engineering and know-how. Every operation – from inception to completion – is centralized at Mercury’s propeller manufacturing facility in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
