[quote Darylchan]My Pontoon is an inflatable. It has two separate pontoons much like a catamaran. I don't know if I mounted a motor on the outside of one of the pontoons that it would track straight or would want to just push it in circles. Would I be able to just adjust the angle of the trolling motor to get it to track straight?[/quote]
My guess is it will be harder to keep on track at SPEED than conventional mounting- without constant steering attention. But you can probably run slow enough to track straight, if you are satisfied with that. Also, you may want to mount the battery & motor in such a way that the 2 pontoons are equally immersed in all directions for better stability and tracking. Let us know how it works, as I am curious to know how it works out for you.
