    RPM adjustment

    On the Mercury big tiller handle there is a toggle switch to reduce or increase your rpm Is there a way to do this on a bass boat with a hot foot installed? I pull crankbaits for crappie in the summer and my 115 4 strokes idles at 2.2 mph and I need to get down to 1.5 mph.
    Thanks

    I think if you were to get the correct SmartCraft gauge it has troll control that serves this purpose. But not so sure you can get it down that slow. It might be to low for the engine to keep running. I guess that's why people use kicker motors.
