Thanks for the info. I am considering putting it on the boat. On my old boat I had a trolling motor ( Big foot 15 HP ) that I used for trolling using the standard gear shift / throttle. I had a hard time achieving the proper speed. I had to keep tapping the throttle. This could help eliminate that problem. Another problem that I had was the motor was acting up raising and lowering the RPM's as I was trolling. The dealer pinpointed the problem to the carb. once they cleaned it, changed it, and a the next year cleaned it again and at the end of the season it was acting GOOD. I'm taking that trolling motor off the old boat and installing it on the new one. They blaimed it on the additives in the gasoline gumming it up. Why do I not feel warm and fuzzy about that description. Fishkiller - you have many tricks up you sleeve. Thank you for the info.
