Default No tiller, Yikes.

I still cannot get used to the Tolman not having a tiller (rudder)
like a sailboat. You approach the dock and cut power to nearly nothing
and then have no ability to steer, frantically turn the wheel and then
brain engages "Oh yeah, this thing dont turn unless the prop is
turning".
My wife cannot deal with it at all after 25 yrs of sailing. It may be
aggravated by not having good low rpm control with my throttle.


I recommend tying half a dozen old tires on the boats side and ram her up
against the dock.




Maybe he needs to invent the "attach a tiller," which would fit into a
tube on the back of the outboard...and allow the fastening of a rudder
and handle.
