    Default Anyone tried a Kipawa prop on their trolling motor?


    Thinking of ordering one of these props but wanted to see if anyone has tried or is using these props. Sounds like a good product but would like some opinions I have an edge 45. Thanks

    My conclusion after reading that and other reviews is this. You will get same speed at lower speed settings but you are pulling higher amps than the stock prop to do this. So I can't see how you would increase run time. But I'm thinking if your trolling the increased maneuverability of the 3 blade vs the 2 blade, especially in the wind would make it worth a try.

    I use these props and love them. To me they pull better against the wind.

    I got my new prop and broke it out last weekend, so far i have seen a definite increase in speed especially in the wind. Picked up about 1/2 mph according to the gps. It is much smoother feeling than my old minn Kota blade. Was out for several hours and had tons of battery left just like normal. So far so good!
