trolling speed

[trouty]

so I have a zodiac with a 9.9. If I am trolling at the slowest speed, what would you guess the speed at under normal weather? Going to try to figure it out with a hand held gps. thanks.

I have a 12' Zodiac style w/Honda 9.9 power and I get 1-1.2 mph @ idle in flat water. That is with one guy and minimal gear load. It is measured with both the Humminbird and my iPhone using the Navionics app.

Huge variation. Depends on engine idle speed, prop, hull, load, color of nieghbors fence, etc. the only way to know for sure is GPS.
