In Response To: Anybody heard of a... (Mike Coon)

I have completed my installation for steering the motor with a separate tiller. Now I can stand up in the cockpit and steer with the motor alone if needed. Works great in the driveway but I want to give it a real world test at the lake this weekend (if the thunderstorms stay away) before I post the design and photos.
About $24 worth of parts and designed to be on-board at all times but collapsible components will typically be in the laz. A very unique quick connect / disconnect system that set me back about $3.
Ok, admittedly a teaser for the group, but I want to assure it works before posting my latest "Thrifty 26S" modification.
Enjoying life - - - fair winds !
