 Re: Hydrilla Prop!?
That prop will work just fine those motors and props were made to run heavy weeds and stumps. You should have no problem in the hydrilla. if it get to bound up pick the prop outta the water and spin them off

 Re: Hydrilla Prop!?

 Re: Hydrilla Prop!?
Is it a speed prop, is it made for mud and vegatation? Just tryin to see what my prop made for. Is a two blade prop better for mud and vegatation? I'm not a prop exper. Just tryin to get educated on them.

 Re: Hydrilla Prop!?
Just for reference, if you look back at trolling motor props like the " KIPAWA " and the "HydrillaHacker" that where designed for hydrilla, you will see the blade design is similar to those on Mud Motors.

 Re: Hydrilla Prop!?
I have a 2 blade and run in lots of hydrilla and other green shit and it works well. Pull it out of the water every so often, hit the gas, and it slings it all off.
