This is a stick steer boat 8) The steering under power of the outboard is done from the same plce you run your trolling moter. It's the steel handle on the left of the guy up front.

this next link is to a description of the boat and specs.

oh, then we have a tiller ;D im still alittle consused on it....so you use that stick to the left to steer? where do you give it throttle? how would you use that stick to steer? it doesnt look like it would go to much left due the the boat. im just alittle baffled about this....

[macgyver]

Picture a steering wheel. Now remove the steering wheel, and put that bar in it's place. If you turn the wheel to the right, you go right, but you just push the bar forward. And of course to go left you pull back. It has pretty much the same steering system, it's just on your side instead of in front of you. They work great. If you had the steering wheel there instead of the stick, you would have a hard time gripping the wheel from the angle. So they just put a bar in it's place. The limitation on truning radius is stil how far the outboard will move. This type of boat is ideal for a one man fishing crew, and smaller waters. They usually don't have big moters on them, but you do everything from up front, electric start, and throttle are up there also. I don't have to get my butt off the seat to troll or go under power. Read the info on the boat, it tells you a lot of the beneifits. If you are fishing with the foot controlled trolling moter, and want to move quickly just pull up the trolling moter fire up the engine, and go. The only downside IMO is that your weight is up front, making it more front end heavy, and you will get a lot wetter form the waves splashing up. I'm going to have some type of modification to mine one of these days, that will allow me to put a hinged piece of aluminum up front so when running, it will deflect more of the spray down or away from me, especially when it's colder out. But It can go anywhere, and it is realy wery easy to use.

got the steering down, now what about the trottle? is there like a pedal? like a car?

[Makitcnt4u]

It's the same traditional throttle like on all boat. Most stick steering systems are set up like that.

The stick only controls steering but the throttle is still the same.
