    All thin props break, no matter whether they are Mercury Lab, Mazco, Spinelli, etc. That's the price you pay.

    If you want a stout cleaver, your best option may be a non-labbed Merc.

    For offshore usage and high blade loading, Mercury makes the 32 4 blade with blade breaks, also know as a humpback cleaver. They were originally designed for leaving and reentering the water at speed in offshore applications. I believe they also track better in rough conditions

    There are many here for sale

    PS: They might be a tad slower than the 3 blades, but it is great insurance. They also lift the rear of the boat significantly more than the 3 blades
