With the sock, it wouldn't need to go out very far behind the boat. I could see one off each side at the rear, or centered behind the boat somehow....

I don't use my drift sock to troll, just trim the motor up but I keep 2 mooring ropes tied to my sock so that I can use the loops to easily tie it to the cleats at the back of the boat. those equal length ropes are perfect to keep it centered behind the motor (or off the front or side of the boat for that matter) depending on how I want to drift. |

Location: Mendota Heights, MN | I have read a lot about people putting an extra notch in the bracket so you can put it down at a 45 degree angle instead of 90. Supposed to handle better and let you run at lower rpms. Mostly for when you don't need super slow i guess.
