[QUOTE="xbacksideslider, post: 266476, member: 8051"] A month ago I got caught in some wind that pushed me and my 14 foot Gregor with its 17 pound Minn Kota backward. So . . . . I replaced my 17 pound Minn Kota with a later model 30 pound Minn Kota. Both 12 volt. Yesterday, the wind pushed me backward again! That 30 pound unit, despite it's larger motor and prop doesn't seem to have 23 more pounds of oomph. Actually, it's about the same. The prop of the 30, while larger, seems to spin slower than the 17's prop. The diameter of the motor is larger too. What's the deal? [/QUOTE]
