trolling motor props ?

[arnold helgerson]

what prop do you guys use on your trolling motors? I have a three blade but was thinking of buying a four blade. is there advantages or disadvantages to these props? is one more weedless than the other and does the thrust change?

I read one time that 3 blade is more weedless and 2 blade has more thrust.

Well, finally I can answer a question instead of always asking them. I've got all three props for my 43 lb Motorguide. It came with a 3 blade. What I found. The two blade does go faster but puts a load on the motor and don't cut weeds well. The 4 blade cuts weeds real good but has less thrust. The three blade is a good middle, all purpose prop. So... I got two of them now in case I screw one up. Sometimes its better to leave well enough alone, but knowing which time is the trick.

The two blade definitely worked better on my 43 and I switched out the cheap mount for a Gator Mount..Big difference.
