Why not add a small electric trolling motor?

I currently have a Yamaha 2.5 HP 4-stroke outboard with a 7 1/4 X 6 aluminum

The type of fishing I do ( lake trolling ) requires a very slow speed but
this particular setup, even at the
very lowest idle, provides too much forward speed for the lures I like to
use.

I'm assuming there are few options other than replacing the prop. Am I
correct, or am I missing something?
If a different prop is the answer, what would be the proper one to get me a
slower speed? What would it's specs
be, and would it fit the Yamaha hub? I'd even like to boost the RPM's up a
bit from the low-idle position.

On smaller tiller powered boats that do not charge the battery it is
not practical to use the electric for trolling unless you have oars
cause you will run out of power pretty quickly
