And weighted is also a plus. It's weighted so that it'll open right away on deployment. |

Whenever there is something in the water like a chum pot or drift sock, I take the key out of the ignition as a reminder. That's the only time I do that. It's worked OK so far. |
Best regards,
Roger

Put boat in reverse works the best!! But you really need twin motors to stay stright, but with some pratice you can do it with one.

Tony...I have a big yellow sea anchor I think I got pretty cheap on Ebay. I use the for fluking when the wind is honking and I need to slow down. They do indeed work. But as mentioned for current-alone driven drift it is not much help. On smooth bottom you could drag something heavy but where you fish that would be a nightmare and get hung in seconds. powerdrifting is your best bet probably. The best way to control it is in reverse, but in heavy seas if you have a low transom you might take on water.
