Fond du Lac – BOATING – Mercury Racing® is pleased to announce the release of the all-new Bravo I® LT propeller.
The Bravo I LT is designed specifically for higher horsepower, single engine outboard powered bay boats and multi-species hulls under heavy loads.
Boat manufacturers have responded to angler requests for larger and more stable hulls. They have addressed that by increasing both hull depth and width. The changes have resulted with the consoles moving forward, changing the center of gravity and weight distribution. The mounting of trolling motor batteries in the front of the boat affects planing performance and bow lift as well.
The hand-crafted, stainless steel Bravo I LT props are designed to improve planing and trim response throughout the engine operating rpm range. The result? An increase in top-end speed by 1 to 1.5 mph!
A total of 15 pitch offerings, ranging from 20″ to 27.5″ are available in one-half inch increments for precision matched performance for both 2-stroke and 4-stroke outboards.
The Bravo I LT features the Mercury® patented Performance Vent System® (PVS). PVS enables operators to dial-in their propeller for peak planing performance. The PVS® system works in concert with the LT’s robust blades that are hand blended and balanced by our propeller lab artisans.
A majority of Mercury Verado® and Mercury Pro FourStroke applications will use the Bravo I LT with all four vent holes plugged with solid PVS fittings. OptiMax 2-stroke applications require all four vent holes to be open. Upgrades from the Bravo I FS to the Bravo I LT require no change in pitch size when matching engine rpm.
