I troll extensively with a 2004 50HP Johnson 2-stroke and have yet to have a problem.
Now I have heard that doing a lot of trolling will prematurely wear out your motor and it is generally not good for it.
They have been around a long time and have been trolled with for years. To me it would seem running at higher RPM's would cause more wear to the motor and be worse for it.
So besides problems with the motor loading up, Why else would trolling harm a 2-stroke?
What are your thoughts on this or is it another urban myth?
