Does anyone use the hydrilla hacker prop, I'm thinking about ordering one but wanted to get some opinion's cause I've read on some sites that it can overload the motor. I would be putting it on a 24v motorguide great white.

ive got one if you wanna try it and it was on a 24v 80 pound thrust motorguide that burnt up very good in the weeds not to sure how it affects the speed but they are huge so you get alot of power and you have to be careful bc it will dump you in the water it wasnt very loud or anything you just have to be careful with your motor i ran it wide open most of the time then realized it was tearing up my motor it burnt the wires inside the head which i fixed several times but if your connections arnt very good it will literaly melt the terminals off the battery i actually had this happen to me so just take it easy on it and pay attention if you have any hot wires
