Guys,
Trolling for Walleye on Lake Erie is done at about 1-1.5 knots. Most of the guys here either use a small kicker outboard motor or run on one engine while dragging a chute on the opposite side.
Question, with the dripless seals cross connected, can I run a single engine an hour to 1.5 hours at a time at mininimum idle rpm in gear with a BIG chute (the CATS are torque monsters as you know), or is this a BIG no no:smt018???
If no, why not (just curious), and if so are their any suggestions/precautions etc.
Happy Holidays and Go Bucks!!
