I have a 82 35hp Johnson that runs well. How can I optimize it for low speed operation? I troll a 20 foot boat at 3 mph.

Re: optimize 35hp for trolling

Your best bet may be a trolling plate. They swivel down over the prop for low speed trolling, and release for normal running. As a bonus, they also act as a stabilizer when up. Sold under the brand name of Happy Troller, and others.
