I reset boat heading sometime while fishing the beach if I get too tight to a bar, using the big engine with the trolling motor down and running to avoid being thrown on the beach, you can maneuver a little with the big engine... but nailing the throttle will most likely leave you with a broken or bent shaft...or one in Davey jones locker. I know where there is a brand new( well it's a few years old now) Minn Kotta TM 55lb thrust salt water motor in 35 FOW...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
