It depends to some degree on how well the contact points were set up on the model and also if the wind is blowing. If you have even a slight breeze then the plane can sometimes drift. It will certainly try to 'weathercock' in a breeze.

Try a test flight with the weather set to 'clear' (i.e. no wind) and see if it still drifts.

drifts?? I guess one could say FSX does a splendid job in simulating Currents. In RW float you are never still in da water. Even if you tie her down or throw out a anchor you still drift. Good old currents and waves.

I agree with the above comments. The wind will move your aircraft on water.
