Captain Crabbie Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 You only get down to 2 mph with the bags out?Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Erie United Mobile App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr 580 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 What rpm are you running at trolling? Can you adjust it down? Does trimming out drive up effect your trolling speed? Seems like with bags out you should be under 2. What size is boat and what size bags? Seems like there maybe easier ways to get speed down than doing prop changes. Years ago I pulled 5 gallon pails-2 pails and if I needed to go down more put out 2 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
