One of the toon manf used to carry an accessory keel that was supposed to help the tracking when being pushed by a motor. It looked like a rounded rectangle of sheet plastic or aluminum mounted on a piece of metal tubing. Anyone have any experience with those and know whether they work? I tried rear mounting a Minnkota on the back of a very old Bucks Apline. Man, that thing had no directional stability. Just zigged and zagged all over the place. Real hassle reaching over my head to steer it. Front mounting makes a lot of sense.
For those that front-mount their motors, do you reverse the polarity on your battery connections to reverse the prop direction? This would effectively to use the allow "forward" settings/speeds to pull the toon rather than the "reverse" settings.
