Eight rods is a lot to keep up with unless they are well laid out. Navigation plays a role as well.

Maybe a picture of the boat will allow others to offer better advice. I’m no expert.
When it warms up this am plan to move 2 of the driftmasters to the rear either side of the livewell.Have the stuff,bases,,to surface mount them. Hopefully here's a pic of the boat.Thanks to all for the advice. Start with 6 and test run.May try the old trolling motor side mounted, but probably drag buckets.Name:  20211202_064053.jpg
