[quote KeelnTime]I'm pretty sure speed was my issue, still trying to get the new boat dialed in without a trolling motor....[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I have no idea what boat/motor you have, but my last boat was a 16 ft Tracker Varga with a 2005 Merc OptiMax 75 and no kicker. I put a trolling plate on the Merc and ran it for 11 years. Would troll down to 0.5/0.6 mph with the plate. and the iPilot electric up front (steering control) running about 3. The plate was worth every penny. Highly recommend it for bigger boats with single motors. And no, trolling with the bigger motor (Merc OptiMax) had no detrimental effects on it.[/size][/#800000][/font]
