Today I was out trying to get my kicker in order. 9.9 Suzuki 4 stroke on the back of a Lund 1800 Explorer. With the kicker running just fast enough to keep it from dying out, I can slow to 2mph (gps). I tossed out a 24" sock and slowed to 1.6-1.8. Pulled that in and put on the bigger sock (I think its 36, but maybe 40") and that only got me in the 1.0-1.2 range. These speeds were trolling with the wind, which was 5-7 mph. I'm thinking of doing a prop change and buying 2 bags and rigging them as shown on the Lindy site. Trolling in any greater of a wind and I'lll be back where I started. I can believe this boat wont slow down more......
