Here are a few reasons to choose a Backwater Blade propeller
Performance
Mud motors are the 4x4s of boat motors. Whether you are navigating a shallow river, powering through mud and vegetation, or running across open water fully loaded with your hunting buddies, dog and decoys, it takes a specialized propeller to deliver the performance you need in every situation. Our props are the result of years of experience and development. The pitch and cup of each size has been carefully tuned to provide the maximum in speed and power for their respective motor. A negative rake on the leading edges of the blades makes the props super-weedless. Additionally, each prop is electronically spin-balanced to ensure smooth operation.
Quality
Your mud motor has to stand up to the most grueling conditions of any type of boat motor, and your prop takes more punishment than anything else. Therefore, it's one thing that you shouldn't compromise on. Our props are made with high-grade stainless steel annealed to the proper hardness. The annealing process provides optimal strength so the prop can better withstand strikes to rocks and stumps, and also provides longer wear life by making it resistant to abrasive conditions such as sand and gravel. Another feature of the Blade props is that they are electronically spin-balanced, which minimizes vibration when running. There is no substitute for quality, and that's why we take the time to provide it to you.
Service and Value
We have had experience in the mud motor industry for over a decade and have thousands of hours of runtime in the backwaters. You can be sure that you are dealing with someone who has extensive real-world knowledge and specializes in mud motors, unlike many aftermarket sellers. Offering the best product is not our only goal -- we make sure you get the prop you need at an excellent price so that you can enjoy the benefits of uncompromising quality without breaking the bank.
