Location: Mendota Heights, MN | I have a 1750 fisherman with a 115 merc. and want to be able to troll down to 2 mph but am finding that 2.6-3 mph is the best I can do. I have noticced also that my stainless 17 pitch vengeance prop from merc allows me to troll slower than the stock aluminum prop that came with the boat.
This got me to thinking. Is it possible to slow the boat down even more with another prop change? If so what would that prop be? I would like to go as cheap as possible because I will only use the prop 7 days per year.
I have already looked at trolling plates and drift socks but I don't think these will be good solutions for me unless there is no choice.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve |
