I fish out of a 12 foot jon boat with the trolling motor mounted on
the bow. Gasoline motors are not allowed on the lake where I fish
most of the time. With my fat butt sitting in the front of the boat,
it just doesn't want to go in a straight line. As soon as I turn off
the trolling motor the rear end wants to come around.

Would installing a permanent rudder of some sort help its tracking?

Try dragging a few feet of chain on a piece rope. Size as needed.

I have heard of that for bigger boats too.
