Rated 4 out of 5Â by wimzip Great product
I have a 40 hp 4 stroke mercury 2008 and it troll at 3.5 km/h, that it s way too fast for my need. I install this product (the small model) and it cut the speed to 1.2 km/h.
If you want the best performance be prepared to make some modifications:
1 st : file a notch at 45 deg. the control of the boat will be a lot better ( at 45deg my speed is 1.8 km/h)
2 nd : drill a hole at the end of the plate and install a second rope to make it a lot easier to pull it up ( I dont understand why it s not factory made like this)
I really recommend this product but they could easily improve it

I was impressed. It handled the Columbia River yesterday just fine. I can forget about buying a kicker motor.

Both times I have had this in the water the cord got tangled in the prop.Answers
A:Â
I anticipated having the same problem and solved it with very little cost...I went to Home Depot and purchased a pack of eyelet screws and used four of them along the right side of my boat leading up to the shift lever. I then used a 10" lite bungie cord and attached the heavy cord to one end of the bungie and then streched the bungie when the plate was up and attached it to the final eyelet. you will have to experiment as to where to put the final screw so the bungie will take up the slack when the plate is up but also also enough travel when it is down. you might think that the bungie would disengage the plate because of tension..I have not had a problem with that happening. The 10" cord came in a pack of ten at Home Depot in various colors. I hope this helps you out. It worked fine for me

You might check with the manufacturer by calling Customer Service: (800) 678-3669.Details:Â
I have a 135 black max with a 18.3 foot boat how much will it slow it down it trolls at 5 to 7 miles an hour will it go down to 2.5 or 3 with more gas put to itAnswers
A:Â
Putting gas in the boat will not slow it down, you need the happy troller to do a job like that.Details:Â
I have a 50 hp 2 stroke merc. Should I go with the small one (up to 50hp) or the large one (50 hp and up).Answers
A:Â
The small one should be fine. If you really want to slow it way down then go with the larger one

A:Â
either way, smaller one is the best fit for your moter but the larger one will let you increase the rpms and your moter will run coolerDetails:Â
I have a 30HP Yamaha. I would like to install a Hydrofoil to stabilize my boat and I would like to install a troller as well to slow me down when trolling. Is it possible to install both on the same motor?Answers
A:Â
No. They would hit each other. But with this, you wouldn't need a hydrofoil.A:Â
The happy troller should do the job for both stabilazing the boat and slowing it down.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
you do not need to install both, when the plate is up it acts like a hydrofoil. just buy the trolling plate
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
I would not think so, both products go in the same location and i do not think they will overlap. The Happy Troller also requires drilling holes in the fin of the Outdrive I would go with an electric trolling motor, much better control.Details:Â
would like to know will this unit work on a bravo 3 outdrive that has duel props, or is there to much force for it . thanks rickAnswers
A:Â
It should be fine as the happy troller fits on the back end of the cavation plate behind the props. The force should not be too much at idle in gear.1 of 1
