Trollers with Tillers...

I am currently fishing put of a 1652 Sea Ark MV with a Tohatsu 50 3cyl tiller motor. Power tilt and trim. Any advice tips on ways to keep the motor straight while trolling? I currently run a strap across the back of the boat and it serves the purpose however when i get to the end of my pull and want to reset and use the big motor its a hassle to undo the strap and hook it back again. I guess my real reason for looking for other options is i feel like im wasting precious time when having to take the strap off and put back on since my time on the water is very limited as it is! Thank you guys. I love this forum and have learned alot just from reading!

Tighten the tension bar under the tiller.

I agree with BRM, also look on the Mississippi fourm on " Pulling Crankbaits 101" page 160 with my post and pictures " A Pilot not I Pilot" This works great for me, hope this helps. Chip

If you have a remote steering bow mount trolling motor. Lock the tiller pushing the boat straight forward and steer the boat with the bow mount. This work for trolling closer to 2mph- not so much for less than 2mph.
