Lots of the walleye guys use big HP tillers. Try www.walleyecentral.com
Always felt my wheel steering was much more comfortable than the tiller on
my 14' boat. run the rod holders further forward, and can handle from the
console.

My thoughts too..... sounds dangerous.

Would appreciate any comments as to the pros and cons of tiller
steering.
Have been fishing out of 18ft fiberglass for last ten years but will be
changing to aluminum deep V type boat. I have switched from bass
fishing
to
crappie (spring, fall and winter) and catfish in the summer. Would be
interested in comments from someone that fishes out of say a Lund 1775
Pro V
type with a 80 HP tiller steering motor.
======================================

I have never seen an 80 HP tiller steered outboard but it sounds like
it would be a lot to handle. There is a LOT of torque reaction on a
motor that large and if it gets away from you at speed, things will
get dangerous real quickly.
