"Wayne.B" further enforced
the typical powerboater mentality with this gem......

yeah, it's a real bitch to turn that steering wheel.

Your sarcasm runneth over.

You got it though, eh?


Try it sometime from the other helm and report back.


I have. Never had a real problem turning a wheel. Are you
that limp wristed?

Most large
powerboats are run by autopilot in open water, and course
corrections
are usually done in one or two degree increments,


Oh, okay, I should have written, 'yeah it's a real bitch to
push that button on the autopilot.'



. On my
boat, which is substantial


what size, in feet, is ''substantial''?



typically close to within 100 or 200 yards before I even
begin to
commit to one side or another. If the other boat makes an
unexpected
course change inside of 100 yards they can create a very
dangerous
situation. I can crash stop in about 50 yards (3 boat
lengths) but it
is very tough on the engines and transmissions.


Hoo Boy,,, thanks for reaffirming my opinion of most ( not
all ) powerboaters.
