Trolling - Under 2 knots

How does anybody slow there boat down to under 2 knots ?

I'd be interested in what has worked. Besides drag a bucket

I can't get mine any slower than about 2.5 - 2.8, except in a good head wind into the tide.

Maybe I got to go uphill

Enjoying Life !

Neutral, drift sock, zig zag.........Whatever it takes.

Or have Clammer hit a rock with your prop, you'll never hit 2 knots again.

I tilt the engine up and then put trim tabs all the way down seems to do the trick. I might try this gadget, called a trolling plate seems like a good fix and not that expensive. Paul
