So, on my new boat I had the trolling motor on the front, and thought that would be better,
as it would be pulling and the back would always follow = that didn't work any better,
the trolling motor I got would always take off right or left when I left it alone = always have to correct.
I am of the opinion that having it on the front is better, but it's easy to control with the front deck I got
now = would've been a real pain in my old boat (no front deck), etc ............................
I find that the steering problem is how the boat is loaded.
If you are moving around on the boat, you are shifting the load and this will cause the erratic movement of the boat when moving forward with the trolling motor.
Just my .
