Putting a second rudder on the front would likely
result in capsizing at any serious turn of speed.
How you gonna get a serious turn of speed in a 30' pontoon boat?
With far too much horsepower. :-)

But Chuck, one doesn't have to run the engine wide open all the time.

I was thinking about low throttle, and bow assistance.

Pushing away from a dock, a thrusting device aka trolling motor would
be fine, but i was thinking more to make the craft more nimble under
weigh.

Tim,

How fast will you be moving where you need the added steering control?
The trolling motor idea sounds good for 5 MPH or so. Here's one with
a remote control for the steering!

Dan, that's the type of speed I was talking about. I never heard of a
remote control and remote steering trolling motor, but I'm not
surprised thats it's ont he market. Probably has been longer than
I've thought. but that would probably work.

I didn't look around too much ont he site, but I didn't see any price
listed.

Probably more than what I'd really care to spend anyhow. but good to
know it's available.

The rules are that there are no rules.

If you break them however, someone will be sure to tell you about it.

Skipper has been mercifully MIA for quite awhile so you won't have to
worry about him.

Indeed.

You'll notice that I'm forever mentioning you in a derogatory manner
in my posts, while you are far too sophisticated and mature to do
likewise. No wonder I get such grief from you and your disciples, I
deserve it because I'm "flaming" you all the time.

Johnny Appleseed it is! He seems to have given up all pretensions of being

Not a bad idea. Have you planted your tree yet? Only $25, and you can do it
in memory of Jimmy!
