Trolling Motor Prop
 
Well broke the prop on my trolling motor and just took it off replace it. It's a Motor Guide Hydrilla I believe. Any other recommendations for a
new prop for a MG Great White?

3-blade metal. No flex. $45-50

Only bad thing about the metal props is they corrode to the shaft. You have to take the prop off often and grease it.

I used Neva-Seize when I first put it on and never had a problem.

Never-Seize is not good in saltwater service. Unless it uses the same metal in it that is on the shaft and the blade. Dissimilar metals don't do well in saltwater. It's called electrolisis(not sure about spellun).

i have a two blade prop don't know what kind but that sucker eats through some grass and lillies. I used to have a three blade but it didn't seem to eat as much as this one
