Here’s the application: twin 6cta 450’s w/zf 280 1.719:1 transmissions I would like to be able to troll slower, partly for fishing stripers but even more so to deal w/no wake zones. engines throw a lot of vibes up to about 750rpm at which point they smooth out. also at which point I’m throwing a decent wake. I can deal with it by popping it in and out of gear but I’d prefer to just slow down to 5 knots but also would prefer not to shake my fillings. Does this seem like a good application for these things? I looked at the pictures here: ZF Marine Mechanical Trolling Valve (ZF 280+) – Seaboard Marine (sbmar.com) A bit confused as the pictures (11 & 12) don’t seem to line up w/the text and it seems like there are redundant pictures for the same steps (?). With that said it seems extremely straightforward and something I could do with the transmissions in the boat, likely both engines in a day. Is this accurate? What am I missing? As for controls & throttle locks, I have that covered, just asking about the transmission mod itself. Thanks
