  • Now I can achieve proper trolling speed!
Easy to mount and works perfectly. Without the trolling plate at idle I could only get down to 2.6 mph (GPS speed). With the trolling plate down at idle speed (700 rpm) my GPS speed dropped to .7 to .8 mph. I bumped my rpm to 1000 and can troll at 1.5 mph. Running a 60 hp outboard and a 14/11 prop on a 15' tri-hull. Easy to use, put in neutral and drop the plate, pull the release cord in forward at idle and the prop wash raises the plate back up. ... show more

  • Poor construction but after you make adapters, it works.
It slows boat down to perfect speed for trolling, but quality construction, it is not. I had to rig a mechanism to ensure it releases and another one to ensure the it goes all the way up or down.

  • Trolling plate
Initially not clear on where to install mounting plate. Trolling plate works inconsistenly - sometimes releases easily, sometimes not

  • Not a noticable change in RPM
It didn't seem to make any difference in the speed of trolling for some reason maybe just wasn't for my application . Don't care for having to worry about the rope pull release, getting it to release to go faster was temperamental.

  • Works good on my 50 HP motor

  • Don't like it need middle position
This is my third trolling plate. This one was remodifed with a middle position rather than just up and down. I don't like this feature as the plate tends to stick in the middle position. I'm really not sure what middle position is fire but I see another bent plate in my future.

  • Works as advertised
Mounted it on a Envinrude 48 HP had to use a top mount because of the trim tab. Dropped gps tolling speed from 2.4 to 1.6 mph
