I have an old, foot controlled, MotorGuide trolling motor. It has 3 speed settings on the foot control. It is mounted to my 14' Lowe boat.

It's slowest trolling speed is 1.1 - 1.3 per the GPS. I need to get it down to .6 - .8 for these cold water trolling trips.

Friend says there may be a reostat or something I can easily replace to lower the speed. Any ideas?

If you have ideas, I need ELEMENTARY EDUCATION and INSTRUCTION as I know nothing about motors and wiring.

Barring that, looks like I will be dragging a 5 gallon bucket or 2 to try to slow it down.

Thanks in advance,

Joel
