A tiller 40 hp? Is there some sort of steering assist built into it?


That's nothin'. Some time ago, I saw two tiller-controlled outboards on
the same day that I still hardly believe actually exist: IIRC, a 200 and
a 175. One was a jet, but the other was propped.

I can't even imagine what it'd be like to try and muscle those beasts
into a tight turn.
