We did the 5 gallon bucket thing for 1 season b4 we had the troll valve installed on our boat. We removed the handles as they will rip of after time - drill out the handle holes and splice in a new rope handle. We also ran a trip line to the bottom of the bucket, so that way it was much easier to pull up the buckets even under way.
Be careful not to forget the buckets are deployed - every now and then after the lines were up, we would hit the throttles and soak everyone in the cockpit.
Troll valve is much, much better - but the buckets will slow you down.
