Push the outboard's tiller to the left and, why, you'll turn right.

I had my helm replaced a few years ago to try to remove some slop and
they hooked it up so it steered opposite. I only discovered it after
launching for a days outing. You'd think that with conscious effort
you
could adapt but it was insidiously difficult, too many years of
driving
with a wheel I guess. I didn't run on plane much that day...


Kind of like the first time I drove a forklift

They steer from the rear like a boat but the wheel direction isn't
opposite from a car.

I tried my hand on the bottom of the wheel but as soon as the mind
wandered a little I'd screw up. No whitewater that day.
Try riding a bicycle with your hands reversed. You will drop it in
seconds.

I remember seeing a bike that someone had put a gear assembly on the
front wheel so the bike turned opposite to the steering.
They let other people try to ride it, no one got very far.
It was comical, because everyone thought they could do it.
