Prop

[8-Ball]

OK- I have a 90 2-stroke Johnson, but it does not troll down enough for me. I don't want to mess with a drift sock. I have a trolling motor, and use it. But, there are times and situations, especially fishing after dark, where I don't want to drop the trolling motor in to troll. I also know about the add-on devices I could put on to the area above the prop. Don't really want that, either. What size prop would you suggest I look at so I can troll down slower? Again, I have a 90 hp 2-stroke pushing a 1750 Sportfish. Thanks in advance..

Sorry- current prop is 14X17.

I think to see any slow down at all you'll be compromising WOT performance greatly and to the extent of over revving.

ST- This would be a prop I would be using strictly for trolling-nothing else.

I see a 14x10 prop for heavy load. Propco part # *JJJJ-10SP.

I have no idea what to expect for trolling but like I said the RPMs will scream at WOT. You could call Jay Soderbloom and see what he says.

[8-Ball]

Thanks ST- I will give him a ring.

You're going to switch props just to troll?

Dropping the trolling motor every now and then sure sounds easier than changing props every now and then.

Yep- not that tough, just removing a cotter pin.

To each his own. Just make sure you have a spare prop nut and cotter pin with you for the time you drop it in the lake.

It gets changed before I drop it in-thanks for that key piece of advice just the same. I am looking for others recommendations about said subject- that is why I posted the topic, and that is what this forum is all about, I think. Take your sarcasm somewhere else.

No sarcasm was intended

If you decide to do this you will need to watch your RPM's and adjust your throttle position accordingly when moving in between fishing locations - otherwise, depending on where you end up with the prop you could be bumping up against the rev limiter.
