Product Details

The Davis Instruments 461 Happy Troller is a versatile dual-purpose stabilizer plate designed for outboard motors ranging from 20 to 50 horsepower.

  • Reduces porpoising and cavitation for better performance
  • Constructed from highest quality stainless steel and marine-grade aluminum
  • Clear anodized finish for corrosion resistance and durability
  • Designed specifically for outboard motors 20 to 50 HP
