Thanks for the info, I did remove my prop this weekend and found it wrapped with some braid behind it, That's gone. That may get rid of some noise on its own.

I have one and have had them on last few boats. I don't buy into the sound reduction. I like them as they allow quick access and no tools needed to change props, get line off prop and the way they look. This!!

Had one on a fortrex and then an Ultrex and feel it helped vibration. Hand tightened it and took it off by hand so pretty easy to use.

I ran my Fortrex with the Eliminator nut on and off when I first got it to see if there was a difference. Not much, if any, effect on sound, but it noticeably dulled vibration. The props are so inconsistent and imbalanced that you could achieve the same results by lucking into a well-balanced prop.

Gimmick even though I have one. In my defense it was on the boat when I bought it. Not sure if it was posted on here or another site but there’s a YouTube video out there comparing it to the stock nut by recording the tm noise under water while in use. No noticeable difference.
If your tm is loud at higher speeds it’s most likely the prop. Feel the same. Gimmick. And the red ones fade to pink pretty fast. Best thing to do is get a new prop and buy a lawn mower blade balancer. Balance the new prop by shaving the heavy side with a file until it’s balanced. There will be no noise then. The prop nut weight will mark the noises a little, and then the seals on the prop shaft will wear out from the added weight. Then you get to buy a new prop that is attached to a new trolling motor. just buy a kipewa and be done with it. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.kipawapropellers.com/uploads/2/4/9/2/24921634/editor/80-01-prop.png)
