How to Drift fish on a rental boat?

[Rob423]

I am planning on renting a boat at a near by marina (16 foot 8hp) and I wanted to drift fish for fluke. My question is do i go to my starting position and shut the motor and just see which direction the boat is going to turn and then start fishing? or do i leave the motor on and give it gas when i have to straighten out the boat? I never fished this way. I usually just drop an anchor and cast out.

Any tips are much appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
