Has anyone run a MB 3 blade prop on a GT35? I used to have a GDSD35 and really liked how it could get a heavy load on plane and run. On the other hand i love my GT and it will run through veggies like my GD never could. I know the 3 blade wont do as well in the veggies but it will haul a load better than the 2 blade.

I wanted a 3 blade to but decided to put a little cup in my 2 blade after i ripped it on a pipe in the mud and had to get it fixed anyway. The cup in the prop made a huge difference on load carrying and speed...and cuts through grass and lillies like never before. I lost about 150 RPMS but that isnt anything.

Nobody has tried this??

If a 3 blade would work better on a GTR they would have them as an option. They were tried but it did not work out well. There are some people out there that have a 3 blade but it is strickly for clear water and running.

The MB 3 blade was hit and miss with performance on differant set ups. If you get one let us know how it runs.

Da 3 blade sucks in da vegetation and mud. Dat is why people do not run dem.
You do get a little better performance in open water wit speed and load carrin capabilities. But to use it da way a surface drive was ment to be used it does not match up to da 12" 2 blade dat comes standard on da GTR's.
Anyone who runs a 3 blade and claims they love it, is not puttin der boat anywhere a traditional outboard can't run.

I have had my 3 blade for a couple weeks now In the grass it didnt seem to perform to bad. I did loose some top end but the hole shot and load carrying are way better. I get 4 guys a dog and gear outta the hole like my old outboard use too. I havent tried it in heavy mud yet. I mainly bought it for the long open water trips we doo this time of year for ducks. I cruise into some shallow grass filled bays and no issues yet with the grass. I lost proablly 200rpms on the top end but gets on step very fast

fowl habit, just curious do you know how much top end you lost and what kind of rpm you runnin now?
i know they aint gonna run like a 2 blade in the mud n veggies but im just lookin to use it for bowfishing.

I lost about 2mph Gps on the top end and I was running about 4400rpms now I hit around 4100 rpms I guess I would rather turn less Rpms it will proabally save on the motor in the long run. All in all I like the 3 blade and love the way it gets outta the hole it was worth the extra few bucks

did it reduce tiller torque for you?

I did alot of the demoing on the 3 blade for the gt!! At first i though it was gonna be the shit!! As for as speed it was 2 mph faster than my 2 blade when i got it in to the swallows and veggies it sucked bad i meen bad!!! As for vibration it was better as for a tiller tork set your boat up right and you can solve that problem!!

A buddy of myne has a go devil surface drive and switched from a two blade prop to the three blade prop and he saw anywhere from 2-3 mph increase in speed. He said that he lost a lot running through the weeds as well and a decrease in the performance in the mud.

The best that I could get out of my two blade was just a little cup in it. Picked up 2 to 3 mph, and it doest even hesitate to run through THICK vegitation, I mean at all. As for tiller tourqe, it does help a little bit.
