SUPERIOR THRUST, EVEN IN REVERSE
Conventional propellers are notoriously bad in reverse, typically providing less than 25% of forward thrust. This is an issue when trying to avoid collisions, especially in crowded areas, near docks and in stumpy fishing areas. Maelstrom props provide reverse thrust equal to 100% of forward thrust, making it much easier to avoid collisions with stumps, docks, and other boats.
Prototypes of our Eddy Series trolling prop beat the market leader - Minn Kota’s Weedless Wedge 2. Tests were repeatedly, and rigorously, conducted using a new Minn Kota Model Riptide 112-16 thrust motor.
For starters, Eddy is far more efficient. At the same cruising speed, Eddy used 50% less energy than the market leaders. That translates into double the range, allowing more time on the water. At equal energy consumption (electrical power, watts), Eddy is >25% faster.
maelstrom dominates market segment leader
Maelstrom’s Eddy beats the market segment leader on their own motor: matching their top speed, Eddy uses just 50% of the power, doubling the boat’s range! And the power you saved? Use some to boost boat speed by >25%. Maelstrom’s tech makes your boat go farther, faster — the minute you swap your old prop for an Eddy.
