[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 138706, member: 437"] Same here. I can't tell a bit of difference. I went with the two blade primarily because my cover kept stress fracturing and breaking blades on the 3 blade props. I could never turn them so that the cover wasn't placing at least one of them in a real bind. I can position the 2 blade prop so that the blades are horizontal and clear the cover. Spending $30 on a new prop every spring was getting old. So far as the physics of it goes, a 2 blade [i]should[/i] be more efficient and give you a higher speed. On something as low powered and slow as a trolling motor... you aren't going to see any advantage most likely. [/QUOTE]
