Here's a new one for a prop expert. I have a 1994 Merc 115 outboard with an aluminum prop. The motor idles great at about 900 rpm. When I put it in gear it will troll at idle speed about 2.85 to 3 mph. What can I do to slow down to about 1.8 mph short of pulling a drift sock or putting a flip-down plate on the motor? Can I put a smaller bladed prop on this motor? If so, where do I find one? I've been told a different pitched blade won't help very much. I don't want to buy a kicker motor to slow down. Thanks
