Slowing a boat's trolling speed.

[ik0n]

The boat probably has power trim....just raise the motor as high as you can and still have enough prop in the water to propel you. Did this on a Dorel I/o on Lake Ontario many years ago. Burns more gas but cheaper than installing a kicker. Also very simple when you want to return home in a hurry......

Did that last year. Didnt work very well.

Well all, I found myself a 12ft tinner with a 76 Johnson 15hp...
Hopefully she will troll slow enough, if not, I'll start with the IKEA bag idea.

I'll let ya'll know at the end of September how it goes.

15hp should be good for trolling no problem...even then itll be easy to slow down with bags or a trolling plate
