You can still troll effectively without a trolling motor; back-troll. My 60 runs 2.2-4 mph at idle while trolling forward (depends on wind) and back-trolling you can shave another mph off; if you really wanna slow it down, back-troll into the wind, although you kinda need an electric bilge for this as it can get quite damp in the back of the boat.
This is also an awesome technique for mid-summer Lakers when they are deep and you don't have a rigger but want to cover water. Big In-line weights (4 oz +) combined with back trolling can get you down there and still cover water.
Good luck!
