Thanks very much for the demo! I have a Troll A Matic arriving tomorrow to troll for walleye. I also appreciate the full speed demo. The last thing I wanted to have to do was manually raise the plate before I took off. I have a 50hp Merc and got the model for 50hp and above. I noticed you have a 40 so I think this will be great. Thanks again.

[@TheFishingEducator]

Great to hear...this should work well. Good luck!

[@kayakwesty]

Thank you for sharing

[@TheFishingEducator]

You are welcome. :)

[@generice1974]

So I am wanting to get into trolling.can you just use a trolling motor as well?Thanks,Gene

[@TheFishingEducator]

Yes, I do all the time...especially in the winter and need to get to speeds around .9 to 1.5 mph. If you are in the market, check out this model. It is what I have on my boat. kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=bVPnad_WMrk

Hey great video. So I was wondering when you slow down does it just go back down to troll ?

[@TheFishingEducator]

Yes it does

[@marknunez2351]

I see that this video is 6 years old and wondering how the Troll-A-Matic is holding up? Was your fuel consumption effected? glad I found your videos, I became a subscriber!

[@TheFishingEducator]

Thanks! So far, so good...no issues and does a great job for slow trolling.

[@darrenbrann4935]

So no issues with your 40hp even though the product says for 50hp and up? Can you remove the springs and put smaller ones on if needed?

[@TheFishingEducator]

Correct, no issues...no you can not remove the springs.

[@joelradeckiradecki8466]

Hi I have couple questions on this. One how much would you say it slows your boat down? My boat goes about 2.5mph right now and I’d like to get it down to 1-1.5 if possible. Two do you know if there’s any benefits to this brand rather than the Easy Troller trolling plate brand ?

[@TheFishingEducator]

No performance lost at high speed at all. I do not know about the Easy Troller plate, but the Trol-A-Matic is a quality product.

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

@@TheFishingEducatorand what about trolling speed, you know, the difference with or without….

[@rdmendoza11622]

thinking of getting this product because the price is reasonable , Is yours still holding up and performing well?

[@TheFishingEducator]

Yes, very well...great for slow trolling Walleye and Crappie this time of year too. Good luck!

[@seanlutzi2911]

do you have a lot of drift at low speeds? hard to keep boat lined up during troll or is it all over the place? thanks

[@TheFishingEducator]

Yes, if there is some wind you might need to adjust...I do this by using my electric trolling motor to steer

[@1500hd517]

Did it give your issues getting on plane? Notice any changes to acceleration?

[@TheFishingEducator]

No issues with mine....I love it.

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Back trolling slow your boat exactly the same as this accessories….free tips.

[@TheFishingEducator]

Thanks!

[@GusgusA1]

How was it in reverse backing off your trailer?

[@TheFishingEducator]

No problems at all. Thanks!

[@badbilly60]

I put it on my old evinrude 65hp 3cyl 2stroke, doesn't work for me.oh well

[@TheFishingEducator]

Sorry to hear that.

[@ryanbrown5058]

How is reverse though?

[@TheFishingEducator]

It's okay....just need to throttle up more.

[@joerod6106]

Is this hard to steer at low speeds?

[@TheFishingEducator]

Yes…it is a bit of an issue.

[@AustinCrawford-vs5tc]

Dose it affect reverse

[@TheFishingEducator]

Yes...you will have to throttle up a bit more to go into reverse. Tight lines!

[@LtSquigley]

He starts ogling the boat headed for the riprap at the end and he's like "dan, I was just about to fish there, sonofabetch!"

[@TheFishingEducator]

LOL!

[@jeremymckinnon495]

I installed it. And now when I'm slowly moving I cant turn my boat.

[@TheFishingEducator]

What kind of HP are you running?

[@jeremymckinnon495]

115

[@Number1Cowboy]

[@TheFishingEducator]

Thanks!

[@roymcpherson7487]

Does this help you plan out faster also?

[@TheFishingEducator]

No, it does not.

[@CH-ky7nw]

Does reverse work still?

[@TheFishingEducator]

Yes

[@XF.Jeuyer]

The Fishing Educator : works the same or have you noticed any loss of control?

[@Number1Cowboy]

what the heck was that,wind blowing couldn't hear a word you said and you did not chow a thing of interest

[@TheFishingEducator]

Thanks for watching...it was a windy day.
