either went hard right or hard left depeding on wave action. had to keep my foot on it all the time. finally got fed up and bought a minn kota ap with remote. love having the freedom to move around in the boat not worrying about being tied to the front and being a slave to the tm. be warned though, installed it myself with well nuts and the thing almost broke free and went in the water. finally found these to install it and it's been working great ever since

Made sure to get the stainless steal ones and now it's secure as secure can be. The only way it can pop out now is if it takes the whole front deck with it. I hate not being able to install it with nuts in the back but that's what you have to do when you can't get to the underneath side to put nuts on it.
