Default kipawa/hydrilla hacker

hello,
anyone have this prop?......how do you like it?...does it really keeps weeds off and is it faster ?
i read all the post on this board about them but that was back when motorguide didnt own them.
i also saw on m/g'd site they reccomend them for the digital and tour motors.i am thinking of getting it and would like some feedback.
i e-mailed kipawa and they said they dont make the prop for motorguides.
but the hydrilla hacker is the same prop isnt it?

Otto, I have one, too, but I only use it when I am fishing lakes with a lot of hydrilla. I've discovered, and I'm not alone in this, that it tends to overload the TM and throw the circuit breaker. It works great in hydrilla, though. I've got a 24V 71 lb MG.

REB,
I have a MG Maxxum 24 volt, and have the same problem with the breakers kicking out if I run the motor over 80% for any length of time (Like crossing a small cove with the TM) I was thinking about pulling the TM off and having it checked, as I thought it was having problems. Thanks for saving me $$$$$ on this matter
Too bad they don't make a two bladed prop as well, it would probably not pull as hard and would not overload the TM!!!
