I just recently bought a new 8 horse Honda long shaft for my Willie drift boat. The model is BF8A3LA and the serial no. BZBC-1700351. I'm going to use this motor mostly in the river. The motor starts and runs good, but it dosen't troll slow enough in the lake. What can I do to slow this thing down? I haven't played with the idle yet.I was told if I turned the idle down to much the oil pressure light would go out. I realy don't want to put a trolling plate on it. One marine dealer told me to switch props to slow it down, two others said go with the trolling plate. From what I've heard I would gain more rpms switching props. What would this do to the overal performance of my drift boat? Is there a chance I could over rev my motor? <br />I would appreciate the help.
