I watched a episode on the crappie connection on you tube. Terry Stewart had 2 trolling motors on the back for boat control for spider rigging. I had a old hand control at the barn so I thought I would give it a try long-lining. I was able to keep my speed down with the wind to my back. I’m going to try it a couple more times and if I still like it I’m going to get a motor guide xi 3 with remote control to put back there. YouTube YouTube

Sounds like a plan.
i troll into the wend or use a 5 gallon bucket or wend sock .you can also drag a piece of log chain. the more you let out the more you slow the boat .
I have friends who use these Access Denied
Sorry about url but was the Happy trolling plates that kick up or down for need

those are for gas power trolling.
Yes, they have abandoned electric in favor of 4 strokes with trolling plates. Some even claim the turbulence from the plate helps the specs bite. I like the electric trolling. Just many options as mentioned.

I have a 1720 Key West with a manual motor up front. For trolling out back I’m using a 40# thrust manual i also use on a smaller boat, mounted on an auxiliary motor bracket.
I do use a handle extension, but even on the lower settings it moves the boat at the right speeds.
