Trolling Plate Attaches To Back Of Any Outboard Motor
That’s why I came up with a new invention called the “Trophy Troller”, a trolling plate that attaches to the back of any outboard. When you want to troll, you lower the plate behind the propeller and it slows you down to 1/2 mph, which is an ideal trolling speed. I have a 50 hp. Honda 4-stroke and have been testing this new device for four years with great success.
A heavy-duty electric gear motor controls the plate from a switch on your dash. You can go from trolling speed to full cruising speed with the flip of a switch. No more need for an expensive second motor.
It’s easy to install yourself. Comes with full instructions. Shipping weight is 28 lbs. It’s made from precision laser cut stainless steel so all parts are rust-proof. Sells for $649. (Robert Rottinghaus, Clever Tech, Inc., 4121 S. Canfield Rd., Jesup, Iowa 50648 ph 319 827-1311; fax 319 827-2425)
