Boat control
I know several of you guys have larger boats so I'm asking for your advice. I have no problems handling my 17' Lund it stays pretty true while trolling with only occasional corrections. Due to the wind/waves I switched to a larger 21' Trophy but I can't seem to keep it straight. I even tried tying the steering wheel but it still wants to go one way or the other. I put one line out and I'm running back to correct the steering before I can even get the in-line board on. Trying to reel a fish in, remove the board and keep the boat straight is a challenge. Do you guys dedicate one person to just steer? Kind of hard as I mostly fish alone or with my wife and she mainly wants to do the catching, which i don't mind, but I have to take the board off (straighten boat) man the net (straighten boat)... Do you have or have knowledge of an auto pilot? Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
