I have a Motor Guide Digital Tour Series 109# 36 volt TM. This is the best TM I have ever owned or used. Its great. Have had it for 2 years and had no problems. I recomend the Digital Tour Series to anyone.

It came with a  Machete III Prop, and that is the only prop I have used on it. Its a good prop and almost never gets stuck in the weeds. 99.99% of the time the weeds get stuck on the shaft, not the prop. I have been looking at the "Hydrilla Hacker" & the "Metal Machete III".

Has anybody used the Hydrilla Hacker or the Metal MacheteIII? Both props are around $50 and I would like to hear some info, before I spen the $$$ since a Machette III is around $30.

Is the Hydrilla Hacker alot better in the weeds?

I was at  B.A.S.S tournament last year and noticed that many of the pros were using the Metal machete III prop. I have read that its better preformance that the regular prop. I am just worried about how it would be in heavy cover, Like wood?

Thanks for any Info.

I use a Hydrilla Hacker on my 82lb motorguide.  My partner runs the stainless and it works also.  The Hydrilla Hacker has more power and is more weedless than the stainless, but both are good props.

I replaced the factory prop that was on my trolling motor with a Hydrilla Hacker after the prop fell off this summer.  :-/ The Hydrilla Hacker does seem to get through the weeds better, but also seems to generate less thrust than the original.
