all tournament trails here have that requirement that it must be on when the big motor is on. I always make it a practice that I always have it one along with all my passengers. 

If he is throwing a crank bait, he may not be throwing up tight to the bank or docks so pick something you can put in those tight spots he is missing. the key is to try different casting angles as well because the boater will be putting the boat at an angle for him, not you. 

on my current boat, I have 2 that is use. 4 blade bravo 27p / 4 blade fury 26p. props all depend on the boat, motor, boat weight distribution. 

The key is remembering the spinners or blades. Alot of A-Rigs have more the 5.
