Is there anyway to tighten the foot petal on a minn kota maxxum trolling motor so it will hold a certain direction when you take your foot off the motor? That would be real helpful when trying to pull cranks or jigs with the trolling motor.

I am just trying to find a way to save hours on my big motor without buying a terrova and a i-pilot... I am sure I will buy one in the future but trying to get by for now...

Any ideas?
