[#0000FF]As with all things, it will be largely a matter of personal preference. Most tooners prefer the pulling backwards style...and steering with swim fins...hands free. Also, if you DO want to troll slowly...at low speeds...it is easier to do moving backward than forward.
The main reason most of us have a motor is for the long hauls...not routine fishing. So your intended use will be no different.
If you need to convince yourself, start by putting the motor on so that it moves you forward. Try that for a trip or two. Then remove the single connecting bolt, turn the head around and try it that way. It only takes a few minutes to make the change and it is not a permanent thing if you decide to go back.
Good luck. Let us know how you do and send us a couple of pictures when you get everything set up the way you want it.
