[quote idahoron]I set mine up like FG with the head backwards. But I like to run forward when I am not tied to another boat and either going up stream or going long distance. This video shows how I do it.

Thanks Ron, that is really clever when going forward and seems to work very well for your setup! Also like the idea that you can reconfigure to the hands free backward travel mode which is better when fighting a fish. Great lesson and video presentation!
Also found another forward propulsion method that is used with shorter boats that are highly rockered and thus harder to balance on the level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQewmjAL04I The front mount might make things a little crowded up front. May not work if you have an apron or cutting board.
Now I'm looking around to find some way to propel a "V" tube with the rider facing forward at moderate speed, preferably hands free.
