    any more speed

    I have a chance to get an old style OMC trolling moter. Will I pick up any more speed if I put it in place of my MK Maxum 74. GE will there be any props to try at the OT. I plan on going this year.

    The OMC TM cannot hurt. i don't think there are going to be any props to run this year. had very little participation last year. Did you ever move your motor up on the plate?

    Re: any more speed (GE Blazer)

    I've installed 2 " spacers for 14" of set back. I raised the motor to 1.25" below pad. I only have 18lb of water pressure. I was hoping to try some 3 blades. I want to try a TXP, Tempest and a T1 and maybe a Fury. Any suggestions?

    27 4 blade TXP that I got from you several years ago. I had it B&B by Mark, but has a few small nicks on it now. It runs 74 in the summer and 76.5 in the winter.

    Well, my prop bit he dust. I either hit something or it just slung a blade and warped the prop shaft. I want to get a 3 blade 27 Tempest or TXP. Which one will work the best?
