I've used trolling plates on my past several fishing boats.
A few tips.
1: Buy one suitable for your engine HP. If its a bass boat, I'm assuming its over 30HP.
2: I greatly prefer the ones that lift and snap up out of the way (better for reverse manuevering and high speed travel.
I had great luck with this one on both a 40HP and 85HP motors. The slowest Speeds were 1mph on the 40hp and 1.5mph on the 85hp (my 85 HP was a very old Merc that needed some RPM to stay running).
I suggest this one:
