I know your eye will be drawn to the thing screwed to the side of the boat.
Drag your eyes away from that and concentrate on the helm.
In the photo the wheel is showed laying over almost horizontal. The helm
pedestal seats seem to be positioned too far away from the wheel to allow
steering while seated unless you steer with your feet. I looked at the mfr.
website and all the photos show the helmsman standing in front of a leaning
post, not pedestal seats.
What gives?



What a good-looking boat!

If you knew anything about boats, crap-for-brains, you'd know that:

1. The "thing" is a custom molded fiberglass fuel vent cover, held in
with stainless fasteners, and vented towards the stern. It's almost flat
against the hull. My Parker 2520XL had a similar vent. I've seen similar
vents on dozens of new boats.

2. The destroyer wheel in the photo seems quite a few degrees off
horizontal, so saying it is "almost" horizontal is a bit of a stretch.

3. The helm pedestal seats seem to have "adjusters" underneath them,
one, a lever, to allow the seats to move fore and aft and another, a
knob, that would control seat swivel.

4. I would suspect the manufacturer offers customers the option of
ordering a leaning post or swivel seats.

Thanks for demonstrating that when it comes to boats, you don't know
your ass from a can of shoe polish.

Oh...what do you think of the steel beams holding up the roof of the shed?
