Mercury Racing Expands Revolution X Propeller Family with New REV XR and REV XST

November 3, 2026

At the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), Mercury Racing introduced the new REV XR and REV XST propellers, expanding the Revolution X propeller family with two new Pro Finish options engineered to enhance performance and give Mercury V10 Verado customers greater control over boat lift characteristics. 

Both the REV XR and REV XST are hand-finished by Mercury Racing to Pro Finish specifications and are expected to deliver approximately 150 additional RPM compared with a stock Revolution X propeller. 

The two models offer distinct options based on a boater’s performance goals and hull characteristics. The REV XR features a standard barrel length, while the REV XST incorporates a shortened barrel designed to reduce stern lift. Both models are available in 20- through 33-pitch configurations. 

“The right propeller can make a significant difference in how a boat performs, and every hull and setup has different needs,” said Nick Petersen, Mercury Racing’s Category Manager, Propellers, Controls and Rigging. “The REV XR and REV XST give V10 Verado customers more options to optimize their setup and achieve the performance characteristics they’re looking for.” 

The REV XR and REV XST build on the Revolution X platform by bringing Mercury Racing’s Pro Finish treatment to V10 Verado customers looking to optimize performance for their specific application.
