    Default boat control

    try to find a steering whell clamp it keeps the wheel form turning .
    the best way is to use a auto pilot . pretty pricey for a good one .
    i used to have a commercail boat and i made a spring clamp from a cheap clamp that wood workers use and attached to the right side of the wheel and mouted to a ram ball mount to the wall of the pilot house .
    i woud get the boat tracking and then just clamp the wheel . still need to adjust for wind and current . good luck

    Default This is a common problem

    On bigger boats you almost have to have a autopilot or dedicate someone to steering. Not only that but they have to be able to keep a line! When i troll we rotate because i run net (most seem to have prob running net when trolling they wanna stab at them instead of dragging fish into net. Autopilots are expensive and if you dont troll all the time hard to justify
