lopez you dont want to have to use the power of your motors to position your self. all you do is turn the motors all the way in a particular direction and the water flowing over them as you drift still causes enough drag to turn the boat a little bit. so if the bow needs to go to the starboard side turn the motors the direction that you would turn them if you were running full speed and wanted to turn to the right. you dont want to have your motors running the wwhole time your out there so to even further turn the boat people use the sock. you can get a cheap azz one from Bass Pro for like $50 i think. It will be a little bit smaller than the one that is $250 but its better than nothing
