Post 3 BLADE RPM???
I just put the new 3 blade on my mud motor this afternoon and It gets me outta the hole fast and seems fast on plane. My concern is when I was running the Big 2 Blade tiger prop I was getiing like 4450 to 4500 now with 3 blade I went to like 3900 rpms it seems like its opening up but it also pushes against me really bad. Wondering if this is common or if I need to adjust somthing. I knew I would loose some Rpms but didnt think it would that many. Any help is greatly appreciated

You should move it away from you. If it's pushing that bad, it may not make that big of a diference. You'd just have to try it and see.

Bent the skeg away from me That seemed to help. I also notice If I put more weight on the opposite side of me it doesnt push as bad.Either way the 3 blade throws me outta the hole lost a little top end but it carrys a load way better. Thanks again
