In my case I will use my Yama 4 stroke 50 HP with a trolling plate that Runs a min speed for my boat at .4 MPH on my 1000 pound Alumacraft boat base weight ... (Before the plate it's min speed was 1.5 for me to fast for trolling for EYE'S ) ... so I have to throttle up now with the plate but have all the capability of an electric trolling motor ... .. and then the only thing you hear is the water telltale discharge (the pee stream) hitting the water ...

TK, you may be interested in this if you need to slow down further or run the motor a little faster but stay slow.

Once my rod holders are set, I will use buckets as opposed to bag or a plate on my 90hp for slowing down. Hang one off each front dock tie then use the big motor.
