Post gdsd tabs by prop
I was hunting in the marsh this weekend in about 6" of water,mud and weeds.
When i would go to take off with my motor trimmed all the way down i would start moving along good then i would have to pick my prop out the water and start all over again because the weeds would pile up on those two little tabs before the prop.

Would i be able to cut those little tabs off ?
Would it harm my performance at all ?


Any help would be nice THANKS

those little tabs keep your motor from kicking out the water while running on step. Highly recommend not cutting them off.

i cut mines off when i had my gdsd 35
ran through the weeds much better!!
gave me better performance taking off in the shallows
even gave me more top speed
it was a BITC# to keep the prop in the water when running anywhere above 1/2 throttle and on plane!!!
i would not recommend doing it

and dont get the great idea of sharpening them either. it just makes them easier to nick up, therefore grabbing even more sh*t
