Tip , I use a 24 volt Maxxium 70 foot control on a 16' x 48'' boat. It steer into the wind and let the wind push me backwards or hold on cover. You did not say what trolling motor or how big your boat is. With the veriable speed control I usually can find correct speed to hold or steer as I let it slowly push me back.
