[QUOTE="richg99, post: 425595, member: 4376"] Most of the correct answers have already been posted. Drift chute/anchor Keep motor deep in the water, and turn the motor so it counteracts the wind direction. (you'd be surprised how much your motor acts as a rudder when it is the water) You could jury rig some sort of a rudder on the stern or even one side, but sure as shooting, it will catch a line and lose the biggest fish some day. If the fisherman is up front, and the motor is in the stern, it may be that the wind will react more on the larger fisherman than on the motor. richg99 [/QUOTE]
