2004 Palm Beach 17.5, 2004 Evinrude E-tech (168 hours)
Prop stock 13.75---15
Boat runs 3.0 mph in gear at idle...at 800 rpm.
Dealer says cannot lower idle speed.
I need trolling speed at idle to be 1.6---1.8 mph for brown trout/rainbow with downriggers
Do not want to buy kicker motor.
Other than trolling plate and or buckets----if I change the prop pitch to 13 or lower, should this lower the speed to what I need?
Thanks
