I'll bet half the pontoon boats there have bigger than 8 hp. motors and no one seems to bother them. Just pull the prop off. I've seen guys use their kicker motor or trolling motor and just not start the main motor. I know these are not the legal answer you are looking for but just my observations.

My suggestion and what we have suggested in the past is to take the prop off of the larger motor. As long as you are only running the trolling motor on that rig you will be fine, just be ready for the onslaught of people thinking you're running the other motor.
