I use Minn Kota Maxxum #80 pound thrust. I fish a lake that is regulated to 10hp and this trolling motor really does the job. I think it is a 42 inch. Never had a problem with the prop. I actually sharpen mine with a file. Seems to cut thru grass better.
Almost threw myself out of the boat 2 weeks ago. Wasn't paying attention and hit the peddal with it turned all the way hard left. Almost went swimming.

The Minn Kota have a slow start (awesome) if it were a motorguide you would have went into the water although either one is a good choice I just prefer the Minn Kota's
