Default odd helm configuration

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?


That vent IS ugly that's for sure, looks like an afterthought. But,
now that you mention it, that boat sure does look uncomfortable for
anything other that flat calm when you can stand up.
