Sold / Closed Happy Troller trolling plate w/new parts kit, $70

[Todd in NY]

Large trolling plate, excellent condition. I just installed a new parts kit which includes all new springs and rings, the new lanyard is still in the package. Also includes new bolts, nuts and washers for mounting to your outdrive/lower unit. I don't need this plate because my boat trolls right down without any assistance after I replaced my shift mechanism, shift cable and throttle cable.

$70 for the plate. Also willing to trade for items such as Lake Clear Wabblers or Okuma Magda Pro 45 line counter reel.

I live in Carthage, NY (13619). This plate hasn't seen water since I installed the new hardware and works as it should.

I've never used a trolling plate do they make boat controlled difficult just wondering. Right now I'm dragging 4 buckets out of my boat to achieve trolling speeds.

I didn't notice if the plate caused any maneuverability issues the couple of times I used it. And that was before I replaced the springs, and my shift mechanism and cables. I do burn more gas if I use my buckets or Amish trolling bags.

I started with dragging buckets. Now I use a plate. The plate is a lot easier. Some minor issues with control. Not to bad. The only thing better in my eyes is a 4 stroke kicker but $$$$

[Todd in NY]

I agree the kicker is the best option. I was really surprised that I could get down to trolling speeds with my main motor just by replacing the shifter, throttle cable and shift cable. Right now I don't troll enough to justify buying a kicker. That could change next year or two years from now, who knows?

Is this still available? Would be interested. Just bent mine yesterday because it did not come up all the way for some reason when running to port.

Does it come with instructions? Do they fit only specific motors? New to trolling and this seems to be a decent way to get my speed down

This should be the link to the manufacturers web site and their instructions (if my smart phone is as smart as it claims to be).

This plate fits outboards and stern drive motors 50hp and larger.
