I made up a pair of `12" Socks for this and they work.

But not near as good as these plates off the side of the boat. With a pair of these winds does not move you side ways. And we also use a chain out the back on Reelfoot and Pickwick. Heres a shot of the front one up while moving . These can swing forward and backward. But hold the boat sideways great. Made out of a State road sign there big.

But with my Lund these Trilling plates holds the boat better then you would think they could work.
