Thanks Dave, Still looking for the answer!?! Looking to put a trolling valve on, but----- Don't have the answer yet! I have the same boat and motor, and salmon opener is apr. 6 th and still I flounder!?! No live bait into Santa cruz Ca. last year-- so no halibut was boated-- BUT this year is going to be special and the heavens will open and---------

Going out Sat. for our first cruise on OUR boat, will check sea anchor (single) and see how that works! Will probably end up with trolling valve, we'll see! CAN'T WAIT!!!

Well, finally fished our boat 31' w/450 Cummins, put a sea anchor out, then added 2 lowes buckets out to get 2.5/2.9 mph, BUT GOOD ENOUGH TO LIMIT ON!!! YEA TEAM! This Albin is amazing!

Ended up with a big drouge to pull behind boat, slows boat to 2.5/3mph which works fine, haven't had a salmon mess with it yet---yet. Found some bad weather today, big swell and high winds, what a differance a boat makes! Any one want a 24' wellcraft?

In the end found that one big sea and one small anchor works just fine, 1.9-2.5 mph and salmon are caught just fine, haven't had a salmon in the chutes YET! Loving this boat!!!
