I wonder why they would say that? Maybe in high wind the bow would be blown off course, but that would be the case with most tin boats. In high winds I use the bow mount to steer and the kicker for speed. It works pretty well for me, but I don’t have a tracker. In low winds I can’t imagine steering would be an issue.
I do the exact same thing, in low or no wind I do not see why it would be a problem. I have a 9.9 Merc on my 17.5″ foot, I sometimes wish I had my cousin’s 6 hp Evinrude for when I really want to go super slow, but that’s not very often.
