What kind of boat we talking?
Here's something I plan to try....dragging an anchor behind the boat.
When you drag the anchor behind you it keeps the backend from swinging around and you can still maneuver the boat with front trolling motor.
Last winter it got so windy I was dragging an anchor around from the front of the boat. I was also fishing from the front. Didn't catch much, when I got home and thought about it....dragging an anchor through the fish probably wasn't the best idea.
