Prime Time at Willard

[MrShane]

To follow up with what Bob said asking if your gas kicker was pushing you too fast at idle, but you still want to steer with electric while conserving battery, don’t forget you can slow speed from kicker even at idle if you make your kicker less effective.
One way is to use a lower numerically numbered prop.
But the easiest way to shave a few tenths from kicker speed is to simply make your kicker less effective by trimming it up so that prop is not pushing you straight forward anymore.
Just be mindful to watch tattle-tell that you are not robbing your kicker of precious cooling water.
