I used 2 bags last weekend, one on each side of my 25' sportcraft since my kicker motor was getting worked on and I can tell you that you can not leave the wheel with this set up. When I did to net a fish it would turn one way or the other real quick. As far as steering it would drift one way or the other, cant wait to get kicker back. That was the first time using that set up and last for me unless I have 2 people working the back of boat.
