Sam, I use a trolling plate on my 90 hp Yamaha. It works good, I can't remember the brand at the moment but I bought it at Cabelas. I've been using it for about 3 years now. Without the plate, the slowest my boat would troll was about 3 mph. With the plate, I can get it down to 1.5 sometimes 1.3 mph. They work. Good Luck

I'd say get a riptide auto/co-pilot,I will absolutely not fish without mine..and they dont use gas either..if ya get to goin to fast ,thro a rope with some logging chain out ,that'll slow down that sail boat...ss

thanks for the advice

Autopilot or any variable speed trolling motor for a john boat is the way to go you didnt list any sizes so it is hard to suggest any thing that might help more than the other

Electric power is the way to go. Better for the environment and your ears. All you need is a couple of batteries and you can troll all day. Should be cheaper in the long run even if you had to buy a trolling motor.
