Now if you go to the chart and use a trolling speed of 2.0 it says if I want to reach a trolling depth of 50' I need 85 feet of line out. OK is it 85 more feet once the Torpedo goes in the water or would it be 35' more from the point the Torpedo goes in the water to get to 85' total in the water?

Let line out with lure 50' then from torpedo to rod you let out amount of line for depth that is on chart . You'll achieve your depth , the line from torpedo to lure is just a spaced lead for stealth. Fishkiller I'm sure will chime in with a bit better help.
