Trolling motor prop- 2 blade vs 3 blade

[Bob1Crab]

I'm using a 12V 34# trolling motor on a flat back canoe only & it has a 2 blade prop. Will switching to a 3 blade prop do anything significant for this or any other size 12V motor?

how about a 4 or 5 blade SS prop?

What are you talking about?
If your wondering about your electric,it may be possible that that motor has another style prop but maybe not.
I have a old stealth 30 TM,came with 2 props.
1 was a 2 blade(speed) the other a 4 blade(cut though weeds better).
I hope you were just messing to get a response.
I would like to see the picture of a 5 blade SS prop on your electric though...

sorry, just trying to a response. Considering a plastic? 3 blade, haven't seen anything more than that

i would try calling Piranha and get a hold of them, they are very knowledgeable and could give you some advice. at least i think they could, because i just switched to them and i love their props and service they provide! 800 235 7767

2 bladed TM props usually give you better thrust and open water performance. 3 blade types like Ninjas are supposed to be better in the weeds. I'll assume you have a MotorGuide motor. I didn't like the Ninja when I had my Motorguide but to each his own. You'll need so much difference in the two on a 34# motor though.
