[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 476948, member: 24227"] Option 4: fix the 9.9 so it runs at idle and doesn't smoke. Switch to a lower pitch prop if you want to troll slower. Trolling motors are nice but not really for trolling. They're great if if you're spending the extra for a spot lock feature or want to control the boat with a foot control while you fish. I have one on my little 12' jon boat that we use in small ponds where gas motors are not allowed. If you are really trolling, they eat up batteries. They make lousy back up motors in an emergency. Few people troll with trolling motors. I think a small kicker is better for trolling. [/QUOTE]
