EasyTroller Trolling Plate - Standard with Fins (for Motors 50 HP - 300 HP)

I have a 21' bayliner capri with an I/0 240hp engine For years I primarily used it as a ski boat and to pull the kids tubing. I love to fish, but certainly could not troll with this boat. I decided to try the EasyTroller plate. It worked perfectly and I am thrilled to now be able to troll for Kokanee and Rainbow trout. Lowered troll speed from 2.5-3 mph to 1-1.5 mph. However, I did put the plate under unfair stress a couple times on the lake one day. I put it in the up position to move locations on the lake and hit it hard (24-30 mph) and made several sharp turns. The third time I did this, when I went to put it back in the down position to begin trolling, the lower section of the plate was just gone. The company responded quickly and professionally and sent me the parts to replace (lower plate and pins, no charge) and I was able to fix it myself. Now, when I want to use the boat for a day of skiing/tubing, I simply remove the four bolts and take the plate off - no problem! I would highly recommend this trolling plate and the company that sold it thru Amazon!

This product arrived on-time, as-specified, and is very well built! I would recommend it to all who are looking for a solid, easy to install, trolling plate for their boat.

This trolling plate was exactly what I needed to get my 20ft Grady White Tournament to troll at my desired speed. It brought my idle speed from 2.8mph down to .8 mph. With just a little throttle I’m right where I need to be at 1.7 for walleyes.

Works OK, but it's hard to see under my swim step. I did bend it up some when I didn't get both sides to release and throttled up. It was easy enough to fix. Takes two people to get it raised, one on the release rope and one on the throttle.

I installed this on a 19 foot Bayliner and it was easy to install after removing the lower unit. It works so well trolling and the trim plates make it plane fast and more controllable.

Received my Easy Troller on Wednesday 7/10/19Installed it 7/13Reason why I bought this product my 50Hp Merc Big Foot i just bought would only troll down to 3.5 to 3.8 MPH a bit fast for my style of trolling.Reading the reviews by previous posters had all the right answers35 years as a Tool and Die maker I was impressed just how well this product is made.Sturdy great finish well thought of product.Installation took around 20 minutes simple, Drill a few clamps two 1/2 wrenches.Then the test at idle my boat was running 3.7 MPH .I pulled the cable the plate lowered just as designed and my speed dropped to 1.3 MPHI actually had to give it more throttle.Boat handling was perfect.When I was done trolling I pulled cable gave a little throttle the plate returned to where it belonged and off I went full speed . I bought the one 50 hp to 300 hp with the fins the price at the time was the same

I'm really impressed with the Easy Troller. I have a Mercruiser 3.0 I/O. Have always been frustrated that I couldn't troll due to high speed. Crank baits would be just below surface.Just had Easy Troller installed, and it cut the speed way down. Baits get down like intended. I also purchased the optional wings. Gives better hole shot by keeping the bow down at launch. Easy to use. Goes down and back up with simple pull of rope. Can't wait to get out fishing!

I have a 90 Mercury Tiller and installed this today. Had to drill 4 holes and install was easy. My motor would idle at 2.8 mph - 3.0 mph and with this on goes down to 1.5 mph - 1.7 mph. I’m very excited for this result and look forward to trolling for salmon and lake trout in the near future!
