I have a 16ft smokercraft alaskan aluminum. I used to have a 25hp Mercury 2 stroke, and I installed a happy troller plate.
It trolled OK, with the usual vibratory smoky 2 stroke deal, plus I modified the plate for a 45degree position...This allowed trolling at higher rpm.
Anyway, I want to us a 40 hp 4 stroke with this same modified plate for trolling.
Anybody try this on a similar boat ? Bad idea ? Is the 40 just too much.
