When I had a 3.7mt Stacer with a 15 Johnson it was much easier to control with leaving the motor in reverse whilst more or less putting to keep from hitting the rocks using my left hand to drive and fishing with my other hand whilst drifting over the eddie on an in coming tide (Absolutely hate it when some idiot anchors up in the pathway). I now have a 16.5ft Haines Hunter (old school Fiberglass) half cabin with a 1998 90hp Force that doesn’t like to idle so is a bit hows ya goings when trying to drift over the eddie…but I have done it a few times in nice conditions but to no avail (story of my fishing life).
