Davis Happy Troller Small Trolling Plate – 20-50HP

Description

The Davis Happy Troller Small trolling plate is designed for outboard motors in the 20 to 50 horsepower range, helping a boat maintain slower trolling speeds without requiring constant shifting or excessive engine idling adjustments. The plate changes water flow behind the propeller so anglers can reduce boat speed while keeping the engine operating normally.

Its hinged design allows the plate to be positioned for trolling and moved out of the way when normal propulsion is needed. A properly installed trolling plate can be useful on boats that otherwise move too quickly at idle for controlled lure presentation, especially when wind or current makes consistent low-speed boat control difficult.

This small model is intended for compatible 20 to 50 horsepower outboards. Confirm clearance around the anti-ventilation plate, propeller, trim range, and steering movement before installation. Always return the trolling plate to the proper running position before accelerating to normal cruising speed and follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions.

• The plate reduces effective thrust so anglers can reach lower presentation speeds with the main outboard.
• A dedicated trolling position helps maintain a steadier slow pace during fishing.
• The hinged design allows the system to transition between trolling and regular propulsion.
• This version is intended for compatible engines in the 20 to 50 horsepower range.
