I found a board member that sold me a used ez steer system for a great price. I hope to try it out this week. I had thought about a bow mount to help with that dame issue you just mentioned......I dont have great access to my bow for deployment, plus we planned a new top this year too so that might have to wait till later on to add. If I need a little extra thrust on turns I still have the electric engine mounted motor that may or may not help.
