trolling motor vs trolling plate?

[DKStroutfitter]

If you can afford it, go with a trolling motor.
Mine has been used to get me back to the ramp when my main motor conked out.
Using your main motor for trolling can cause it to load up and run poorly.

As far as fishing Willard for Walleye or Wiper, many of us have switched over to using our electric trolling motors.
Much quieter on shallow water.

I have both an electric bow mount and a rear mount 5 horse gas trolling motor on my boat.
Both are used depending on where I'm fishing.
The last thing that I would recommend would bet to troll with your main motor.
