Has anyone used a motor mounted trolling motor? If so, how did you like it?

Re: Trolling motor

Problem I see, if everything else works, is "pushing" the boat. Small engines/motors don't have the thrust necessary to manuever a boat in reasonable cross winds (currents). You can pull them around all day, but you can't push them very well. BTDT<br /><br />It's easy to see what I mean. Just idle your outboard in gear and try to turn into a crosswind of 10 mph or so. You have to give it some throttle to do it don't you. Well, with the little tyke back there, there is no throttle to give it. You just keep sliding sideways. Nuf said.<br /><br />Mark
