HookSetDon Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Ive read on the net and heard from a guide in florida that putting a minn kota prop ( weedless wedge2) on a motorguide is easy and effective, I have a motorguide tour 75. Has anyone tried this? What did it require and are you pleased with it? Quote
Junebugman Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Hi you have to make the pin slot a little deeper might have to try a couple props but the diff is amazing. Junebugman 1 Quote
MichBassMan Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I'd like to try this also. I have a motorguide digital tour model 82# thrust. Does anyone know the minkota model prop I'd need ? Quote

Super User Hi Salenity Posted September 13, 2012 Super User Posted September 13, 2012 I have a wireless 75# is this something I should look into? What is the advantage = speed? Quote
Team_Dougherty Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Funny, A kayak board I follow there is a group putting machete 3 props on Minn-Kotas Quote
HookSetDon Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 I ended up putting a weedless wedge 2 on my motorguide tour 75 and it works well, took some modifying but runs great in the weeds now Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted September 13, 2012 Super User Posted September 13, 2012 Don, I have the Motor Guide Safari prop that is supposed to be great in weeds, BUT it is .6 mph slower than the Machete which I don't need since I fish several electric-only waters. I just have it as a spare now. Quote

Too many blades 3 cuases it to plug up too easily. Junebugman Quote

BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted October 9, 2012 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted October 9, 2012 I put a Safari on my 36v Tour 101# earlier this year. My only problem is that the blades seem easier to dent. If I could stop running into stuff I would have no problems with this prop. Quote
