Older Minn Kota All Terrain 40 prop upgrade?

[shallow hull]

I have a older Minn Kota All Terrain 40 lb, ser# MKAC2207091. Is there an updated prop that will push my boat better? Thanks

Probably not, many reviews on various 3 blade tests on trolling motor props but havent seen anything conclusive. Even going with a bigger motor you won't see hardly any speed increase as they only go so fast. If your boat is heavy and your motor is struggling to push the weight or in strong current....then a bigger motor would help the push, but very little increase in speed.

It's on a 82 ProCraft 16.5' fish and ski bass boat. It does OK. I was just wondering if there was some new prop technology out there to give it a little boost. New trolling motors cost too much to change now. Thanks for your input.

Yes....your 40lb thrust motor is underpowered !! I have a 16' side console Sylvan alum with a 55 lb thrust and it is good but I would not want less, especially in wind or current !!
