That was a great trip Dug! We had a great group. There was one questionable character that was supposed to attend but I can't quite remember who?

Re: Trolling motor

For what it’s worth I hang a drift bag off each side when I troll. I can run down to 1mph. I installed a simrad autopilot and just control speed at the throttle running on one motor when trolling. Seems to work great for me.
