Trolling with 150

otwadoug Posted 6/20/2014 11:58 AM (#111993) Subject: Trolling with 150 Member Posts: 73 Location: Green Bay, WI Who is forward trolling with the Merc 150 four stroke? How slow can you go? Are you using the smartcraft troll control? What boat?

How fast does it push your boat? Thanks, Doug Rich S Posted 6/30/2014 4:24 AM (#112024 - in reply to #111993) Subject: Re: Trolling with 150 Member Posts: 2300 Location: Berlin No smartcraft. I got the 186 Fishunter with a 17 pitch. Holeshot is beyond amazing and top end is 47mph and the amount of load does not make much difference. walleye express Posted 7/2/2014 7:18 PM (#112041 - in reply to #111993) Subject: Re: Trolling with 150 Member Posts: 2680 Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. That's pretty fast. Edited by walleye express 7/2/2014 7:22 PM
