I have an electric motor, we just tried the gas cause we go for a week at a time and no electricity to recharge.
You do need flippers to steer. I have done it without (cause I forgot them) and I was able to steer a little with my feet, but I had to have the motor on at all times.
I have heard people saying they get blown to the side, the only time that happens to me is if the motor is off, my feet are up on the footrest and I am not using my oars.
Otherwise, they track very well. I can row fast and straight and with the motor on I can steer very well with my feet as a rudder
