Hey Tomegun, it's best if you have an anchor cleat just ahead of the center of your boat. I have a cleat on each side, about even with the back of my windshield.That way you can drift sideways (leave the big motor down) and use your electric to keep the boat under control. Remember you never drift exactly the direction the wind is blowing. Has to do with the rotation of the earth and such. You will generally drift about ten to fifteen degrees to the right,(assuming you are fishing north of the equator). Depending of course on which way your bow is pointed and which way your big motor is turned.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
