I have a '10 four stroke 25hp Mercury tiller on my 1754 Grizzly, so it isn't a problem to use it for trolling. My 55# Minn Kota has five speed settings, top is about 2mph depending on wind. Just seems like I don't do nearly as well with the outboard running, but like I said in OP- working my way through the newbie learning curve.....

Thank you to all that have chimed in, I appreciate it.
