Re: Re: Re: Re: Question About 50 H.P 4 Stroke Mercury Help Needed
I have a 50hp Merc 4 stroke on my boat, a 1750 Crestliner Fishawk. I can troll at 1.0 to 1.5mph at 800rpm's without a drift sock, buckets or trolling plate.

For what it is worth I have a 50 HP Honda Four Stroke on a Lund Alaskan 1600 and after a little adjustment on the idle screw I am able to get down to about 1.5-1.7 mph.
Re: Question About 50 H.P 4 Stroke Mercury Help Needed
i run a merc60 4 stroke on an aluminum 20 alaskan the slowest i can go without a plate is 3MPH and still maintain charging . put on the large happy troller plate and cut the plate down and can maintain .5 -3.5 mph.
if the merc has the bigfoot gearcase it will only make it worse - you may be able to idle it way down , but will the charging system maintain ?

Great pointers and help. Sounds like it may or maynot troll slow enought. With out help. I basicly wanted to know if what the dealer was saying was true. Thanks for the help every one.
