Hiya,

Here's a little trick for moving cross wind to help keep the boat more parallel to a shoreline or structure..

If you turn the big motor so that the front of the motor is facing into the wind in a cross wind, it will actually help you keep the boat more parallel to the structure you are fishing. What this does is help to keep the stern from blowing in toward the structure, and allows you to adjust the bow mount so that things track parallel. In most cases, your bow mount will actually be facing out from parallel as the bow will need to be pulled away from the structure. The more wind, the more you turn the big motor. It is not foolproof, but it helps tremendously in certain conditions.
