Troll with big motor running at trolling speed with a bungee cord or something to hold your steering wheel straight.......when you want to turn or change course bump your electric trolling motor on and turn with it.....then bump it off.

LowePro, how much run time are you getting out of those batteries, and what size are they? With it being 36V I would have thought one could pretty much troll all day with no issue.
