I would go with the largest you can fit there. I had a 9.9 two stroke on my V20 and it moved the boat at ten knots when I wanted. As a slow troller it was great, as an emergency motor it was marginal in the salt. If you had to fight a current or a strong tide due to a disabled main motor even the 9.9 would be working hard to barely make speed over ground. Especially if the winds were against you.

I have a 8hp merc troller on mine----It has gotten me in many miles in the salt and currents--But it was slow.
I would prefer to have a 15hp for my troller backup motor--same weight as a 9.9hp. Trim tabs---you bet--Lencos and it made a huge difference in the boat!!!

My experience is to not put anything behind a chine, not a transducer or trim tabs, the water is pretty turbulent there & air rides down the chines, the clean water is between the chines. Look over the back of the boat running in a chop & you will see what I mean.

Exactly---per instructions. As far as transducers--never behind a chine.
