Trolling speed Merc 90

#1 Post by Mr Geets » Fri May 04, 2012 6:00 pm

what kind of trolling speed should I expect out of my Mercury EFI 4 stroke 90 horse outboard on my new 21 foot Princecraft 21 footer (2 toons) on a calm day? Thanks

Somewhere between 1 and 25 mph. What fish are you targeting?

Hello there Mr. Geets. It's the first time I see someone say they have a Princecraft. Are you in Canada or USA? The reason for my interest is, I am awaiting delivery of my Princecraft 21-foot fishing toon in the next week hopefully. Here's a link to the one we are getting: http://www.princecraft.com/aluminum-boa ... rview.aspx .

Welcome to the forum!

OOPS! First time I hit "bump" selection and here it goes to the top. Actually I'd like to delete some of my old posts.
