How long are you trolling for? Just a few hours and then blasting off to your next spot? Or are you trolling long shorelines without hammering the throttle on the big motor?

We have a kicker on our boat, but it's mainly used for fishing lakes with horsepower restrictions. When I troll, which isn't very often, I find myself turning to the big motor. For some reason the kicker doesn't turn very well. It's connected to the outboard if that matters (maybe if it was a tiller I could turn tighter). Anyway, with the big motor I can make nice tight turns if needed and if there's wind it's much easier to work with than the kicker.

Just my .02 cents.
