Trolling Motor Prop Question

[a brickhead]

Hey guys...I've got a Minn Kota trolling motor with 35lbs thrust to it. Works fine, but, I was wondering if it's possible to get a little better performance out of it with a new prop. Do they make aluminum or stainless steel props for small electric motors?? Will they even do anything for me as far as thrust or speed goes??

The ninja prop is suppose to be good.

I bought a kipawa 3 blade for my MK. It made a noticable diff in power and it's easier to hold the boat position in the wind. Got an increase of 1mph - went from 2.5 to 3.5mph. This is a 65Lb thrust on a heavy 18' aluminum.​

They do make aluminum props for minn kota motors but they're hard to find. They are supposed to increase performance although I've never tried one. I know this guy sells them:

Valley Marine
7018 N 53rd Ave
Glendale, AZ 85301
Phone: (623) 247-0355

Give Gene a call and he'll ship you one if you're interested.

I wasn't aware they made AL props for minn kotas. A quick google search turned up a few on ebay and some other places. Good to know​
