I’d try trimming the lower unit up before I drug buckets.

If you want to go really slow, think electric trolling motor
Had a 110 lb thrust MinnKota on my 2452 Trophy
(Had a 9.9 Yamaha kicker and the main also)
Mainly for Sockeye in lake Washington
But also very useful drift mooching in the sound
One shot. One kill!

Sea anchors are the way to go. Probably 30” for your trophy. They aren’t that spendy and can be stowed away small. And work better then buckets. Troll plates make turning harder.

Thanks for the input about troll plates. Hadn't thought about turning. I use drift socks to slow the boat running the main in traffic. Kicker is the best option if a person can.

Kicker+ drift socks is perfect. Even better is some combination or kicker/drift socks/bow mount electric motor.
