So i fish some waters that are electric motor only, and i have a Minn kota 70lb traxxis, and a 80lb xi5 on the way.

The weeds are very limited, and like to fish open water/edges a lot, so i was wondering, if any of you have experience with the power props from any of the brands, and have noticed a difference in performance.

I have a friend whose studding to become a mechanical marine engineer, and he tells me the prop, can make a ton of difference in some cases, so thought i look into this.

I googleds the Sh'' out of this, and also found a company that only make props, called, "Kipawa" that makes for the minn kota motor but other then that i find the information pretty limited. except some reviews on shops that sells them.

Tight lines

I have been using one a Kipewa(sp) on my Terrova for a couple of years now. Very happy and have noticed more power at lower voltages. I would highly recommend them.

I know MK says using any propeller but theirs voids warranty, but how would they know.

As it was hard to find any specific information, I just ordered a MG power prop, and thought I would share it with you when I get it tested.

I looked into this a few years back - never pulled the trigger. I'll be curious what you think when you have tried it.
