This should work good and troll at a speed of 5.5km . Use a GPS that can track your speed and make lots of turns.
That's seems on the top end of the speed for what I try and troll at for Lakers - mostly 1.8mph up to maybe 3.0mph (roughly 2.5km/hr to 4.5km/hr).
The trick is to find the speed they are striking at - the faster you go, the better the hook up is, however, sometimes you get less bites going a bit quicker.

Just give it a try, any of the quality northern lakes I've fished, 5.5 was the ticket. However using the twist throttle on the 9.9 motors was tuff to keep it locked on that 5.5km so we would often be bouncing between 4.5-6.5km .
If its not working on Cold i will keep your speeds in mind lol

I guess weighting your lure or a jet diver works but just seems like more gear than is necessary to get close to the bottom, we fish cold lake and la plonge several hundred hours every year never have hooked bottom with a weight. lakes like athapap or clearwater, lac la ronge i would say stay clear of the bottom.
