Trolling speed w/Cat 3208T and Twin Disk Right handed Trans.

[badger]

I talked to my local Twin disk guy. He sent a mechanic down to the boat to take a look. Tinny the mechanic stated I have a right handed transmission and they don’t know how to install a trolling valve on a right handed set up. Fluid reservoirs are different
I need to get the trolling speed down to at least 3 knots and 2 would be better. Not trusting the Twin disk guy I’m wondering if anyone has had success getting troll speed down with chutes or trim tabs. My last boat had a hydr. cavitation plate on the outdrive.

I Dropped the Idol on he cat to 700 and still had a 4 knot tac

What can I do with this JC 31 to get down to trolling speed?

I understand the principals of current and the diff. between paddle wheel speed and gps speed.

maybe its time for a new guy..the troll valve is like a bypass and allows the gear to 'slip'. right or left shouldnt matter..unless im completley outa my mind..
i had a 3208 TA with a twin disc 507 2:1 right hand. and installed a troll valve myself, and it worked out fine..still have the same gear but now its bolted to a 3126 motor..troll valve still working.

I don't know about the right or left.

I have a 3208TA with a Twin Disc/trolling valve. Motor turns left handed,
Boat is 40'. Trolling speed is easily able to be reduced down to 2mph.

Thanks for the comeback. Possible the guy doesn't want to do the job or lacks the knowledge.

Is a right handed tranny different then a left?
