Customer Reviews for VEVOR Outboard Propeller, Replace for OEM 48-8M8026630, 4-Blade 10.3" x 13" Aluminum Boat Propeller, Compatible w/Mercury Mariner 25HP Bigfoot/Command Thrust 60Hp Outboard, 13 Tooth Splines, RH

It looks pretty close to the original spitfire prop, however... I ran into problems while installing it.I will say that I have not used this in the water yet and will be trying it out this weekend if everything goes well. That said, once I can get a new Mercury Prop this thing is going into a storage bin just for a backup.Problem 1 while installing it: The Hub doesn't fit inside the prop. It says "it should slide 3/4 of the way in and then you can push or gently tap" the rest of the way. That was 100% untrue.I had to get a big socket and a rubber mallet and beat that thing in there. Even then I had to tighten the nut down on the prop to get it to seat far enough in for the outer washer to lock onto the splines. I didn't feel good about doing this at all.Problem 2:The picture... After I tightened it down to seat everything I took it apart and put that lock washer on. I tightened the prop nut down to 55 ft-lbs as instructed by Mercury. The lock washer broke both pins off as you can see in the picture.I ended up using the old one and that held up fine.That is a HUGE problem in my eyes. I've had a prop fall off, not get knocked off, come undone and fall off almost 2 miles from the dock. I NEVER want to do that again. It's pretty unforgivable in my eyes, that's a key safety feature and they cheaped out on it.Problem 3This may not be a problem but after I put it on, it didn't spin very freely while in neutral. I did start the engine up and put it in gear to let it spin and it now feels much better but I'm a bit worried about it. As long as it doesn't fall off this weekend I think we'll be ok.If this thing does have any problems getting the boat up on plane this weekend I'll update this. It looks very close to the mercury prop so I doubt that will be an issue and my main reason for not rating it higher is the terrible fit of the hub and them skimping out on a key safety feature. That lock ring is the cotter pin for those of you that have those on other engines. The one the

My first order went missing for a week. Amazon refunded and I reordered which arrived the next day.Bought it the replace the original Mercury Spitfire prop for my 2006 Mercury 60 hp four strokes outboard.The packaging was great with good instructions and all necessary components and even came with a nice pair white gloves.Prop is exactly the same dimensions as the previous Mercury spitfire that I replaced. All the components are brass alloy which I feel are even better than that of the Mercury spitfire prop which has a plastic splines.I have not yet tested out on the water yet but I have no reason to think that I will not perform as well as the original Spitfire.Will update on the performance later.

Replacement prop after hitting a rock

95% of the performance of my OEM Mercury Prop for one-third of the money. Highly Recommended.

This propeller looks and feels a bit better than my Blackmax Mercury propeller that cost over $200

Fit right on and cost half of OEM

Everything is good from delivery to install. Prop looks good, fits perfectly and easy to install. Problem is I didn’t get in the water to try. But same size as old one so should work. Will certainly let you know if it doesn’t!

easiest way to get the boat filled up without paying crazy lake fuel prices

Good quality prop and hardware was included, definitly worth the money spent

Very nice with all parts needed Thanks
