I have a Endura 36lb TM with a stock prop. Would it be any more efficient if I was to put a different prop on there?

If you haven't looked at the Kipawa props, I'd go check out their website. They are fairly expensive (~$40), and at the rate I go through props (seems like 1 or 2 a month), I can't justify the cost, even if there is a siginificant added gain in performance.

If you do buy a kipawa be sure to report back to the board. I really want one, and am curious about the real world results.

In the mean time, I'll stick to the $15 replacement stock props.

Adam, what in the world are you doing to tear up trolling props so quickly? They work better if you keep them in the water and out of rocks and sand.  

Well, it seems like whenever I hook a fish while the TM is running, I'll get run up on something before I can land the fish and cut the trollin motor off. Oh well. I fish electric only lakes, and a new prop every few weeks is cheaper than gas.

First off, I have a MotorGuide 56lb trolling motor on my boat.

I love the motor but the props I had were junk.  Always getting wrapped up with weeds.

I modified a MinnKota Weedless Wedge prop to fit on the MotorGuide shaft and it is the best boat modification I've ever done.  Runs smooth an 0 weeds on the prop.

MK Weedless Wedge gets my vote.  Tough as well.  I've clipped more than 1 log or rock with no damage.

I've never tried different props on my MK but one tip I learned that does help, especially with the weeds, is to keep the blades sharp.  If your props get small nicks in along the cutting edge or if the edge just rounds over and dulls you can restore them by lightly sanding them with find grit sand paper.   You can put a real nice edge back on them with 220 grit or finers sandpaper or emory cloth.    They'll slice threw weeds better than new.  

Of course, if you have a big chunk out of a blade this won't work.
