Flipper,
i troll with my bow mount always. Saves me gas and the noise of the motor. With a lite boat, this can be done. If you set your trolling motor straight, find your speed and troll with the wind. You can steer with the big motor to make "s" turns. Either that or tie a couple buckets to the cleats on the back ot the boat with some rope. Poor mans drift sock works well. Heading out early tomorrow in that general area. Thanks for the report.
