I was wondering what is the best set up for trolling in the wind. I have a 17.5 ft sea nymth with a 70 hp johnson. I also have a 3 hp yamaha kicker I troll with, I tie it to the main for steering but cant keep it straight in the wind. I thought of a speed control on the kicker but they dont give em away, but if thats what it'll take I may have to invest in one.The main at an idle is still way to fast 4.5 mph so I want to rig up something else. Do the troll plates work well for this or would a front mount trolling motor be better?
Thanks
