Just wondering how many of you with Etecs are using them for trolling. In a perfect world I would prefer to just have the one (135 HO) on the new welded aluminum boat. Trying to keep everything as simple and light as possible (The last boat was a Ranger Tug. Winterizing, upholstery, loading, unloading, etc was a bear.) Everyone I have spoken to and what I have read suggests the Etecs idle down nicely and sip fuel at lower rpms... The friends I have fished with mostly, never even dip their kickers. So while I can appreciate the insurance of having a second engine, I am really struggling with the added cost, weight, maintenance, room, etc.
