 Steering Lock
For all the GTR tiller guys, when it comes to fishing, how do you guys lock your motor down so you can run your trolling motor without the ass end drifting around? Right now i am just tying a rope from each side of the boat to the tiller handle. It works, but it becomes a hassle when you have to run to different spots. Any other methods or suggestions? Thanks in advance

 Re: Steering Lock
Two bungee cords are quicker I've used those and they seemed to work and weren't much hassle

 Re: Steering Lock
I just drop the quick trim down on my motor and let it follow the boat. I Don't lock it in the middle. Works fine.

 Re: Steering Lock
I trim mine all the way down. It helps tracking (stern drift or whatever you want to call it) quite a bit. Stays straight too unless you hit something above or below the surface.

 Re: Steering Lock
Yep all I do is trim down all the way and it stays put for the most part.
