trolling with a 150

[piers]

Any ideas?<br /><br /> I have twin 1997 150 johnson oceanrunners.I like to do the occasional trolling and I have been alternating eng. for trolling.With one eng. at idle in gear it is the perfect trolling speed.I would like to try to avoid buying a kicker if <br />i can.Is there any problem with trolling with these engines.I also give them a good run after trolling back to the marina.I use carbon guard regularly.<br /><br /> Thanks

Howdy, PT.<br /><br />I had a 1982 Johnny 150 that trolled for many hours at a time with zero trouble. Ran at cruising speeds for about an hour before and after trolling.<br /><br />Decarbed it each 50 hours or so, but never had any indication that it was needed.<br /><br />When I sold the boat it had about 300 hours on the original plugs.
