I think it’s crazy that you have to pay extra for a sand /rock guard on a mud motor. Why not just make it standard issue. GT want’s an extra $ 100 for that option.

GT can easily incorporate it in the original unit during construction. That cost is negligible.

What’s the purpose of the reverse plate. I run in grass. Do I need a reverse plate ?

Thank you.

Yes u need a reverse plate. Your motor will reverse alot harder with one.

You don't "need" it, but if you don't get it, & then try it later, you'll definitely want it.

Cause 99 percent of people don't want it !! Reverse plate you don't need it

Reverse plates are not needed for reverse. They do keep you cleaner....sand rock guard is not needed at all.

sent by carrier pigeon...don't shoot it!!!!

The rock guard doesn't help at all with... uh, rocks?

Not everyone runs rocks with a.... uh MUD motor......

It was a legit question. I was contemplating adding it because I run rocky rivers sometimes. Glad ya got some enjoyment out of it

Reverse plate is real nice as a shield for mud and water. Never ran a gtr without one but from what I hear, I would be disappointed if I did lol!

I imagine if you run rocks in anything with a prop, ain't much gonna help protect it.

In the glades I hit limerock every time. My current mm skeg protects the prop.
pops up and over. No damage to the prop.

Rock guards really hinder your performance over a hard bottom too.

Man just build a rock gaurd like the prodrives have hahaha

i had mine on while running the river hit a rock and pretty much ripped it off, no not really a rock gaurd but it will help if you run hard bottom to save your skeg.
