Trolling Plate

Would this be a cheaper way of getting my 135 horse inboard down to a good trolling speed instead of a kicker? Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

IMO you will be happier with the kicker or trolling bags . I have used a plate , trolling bags, and a kicker and the plate would be my third choice .

The kicker gives you more control and additional saftey as you can always get home, it will also be very frugal on gas costs.

Trolling bags will help stabilize your starcraft in the more choppy conditions and are a less expensive option on initial outlay but you need to be sure that your IO will handle the hours of running at lower RPM
