Someone mentioned that there are already EXISTING after market high thrust props available for standard trolling motors?? (Like Minn Kota)
If so, could someone post a link. I'd really like to find something similar to a Torqeedo prop for a Minn Kota (and at much more reasonable cost would be really nice too!).
Thanks,
John

Yesturday I tested for the first time a marriage of a Toq. prop to a MG hub. It was quite windy so I couldn't do any precise testing but it was definately more effecient than either a Kip. or the standard MG prop. Hull speed at lower throttle. A couple of photo attached.

I was also thinking of making a fairing for the shaft as well.After doing some research here, I was also thinking of trying the Torqeedo prop on the trolling motor.Most of the nearby lakes around me are electric only state parks and, from what I have witnessed, have not been exposed to a real electric powered boat of any significance to test the 'electric only' rule. My goal with this setup is just a nice no-wake cruising speed with some reserve power if needed. With two small children getting used to boating, this is about my limit at the time.
