Mine was an older 2 stroke and I could not idle it for more than a few minutes without problems. Hope yours works better. It is a great size boat for LOW. I used mine at White Earth also but it was too big for that lake size. It also worked great on Mille Lacs, Leech, Ottertail, Oahe, and the St. Croix river. You will enjoy it.
I should have read further...
15hp 2 stroke was the issue. It probably needed to be run at a higher RPM than trolling would allow. That is the beauty of the 4 strokes.
Dave is right. You can motor down that 150 and pull cranks. It most likely wont troll down enough to pull crawler harneses, but maybe. I know Yamaha digital gauges and/or a trolling system that you can put on the big motor for that. It is probably as much as the kicker though.
