[QUOTE="RustyTackleBox, post: 160260, member: 282"] what does your big motor idle at? best method is using a kicker motor locked straight for your speed and then using a bow mount trolling motor to steer you I use a trolling plate on my big motor to get it to go slow enough and idle / just above idle to control my speed and then use the electric trolling motor to steer... FYI when the guy at moritz talks you out of a kicker motor when buying the boat kick him in the nuts (big reason I will be upgrading my boat in the near future) [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] if your big motor idles under 2mph you will be fine using that... and if you want / need to go slower than that you can either reverse thrust the electric motor (steering nightmare), trolling plate, or drift socks/buckets (steering issues here too) [/QUOTE]
