Most boats that are setup with stick steer are usually narrow boats. You can reach the shifter on one side of the boat, and the stick for the steering on the other, at the same time.
When I start on this boat I want the maximum amount of room possible. I was going to convert to a tiller but I'm 2nd guessing that idea for a few reasons. I can get back to those reasons later.
I could keep the shifter where it is, and then mount a stick steer stick next to it. This of course would be impossible to operate with have to use the throttle and steering on two seperate levers with one hand. BUT, I'm thinking that a Hot Foot throttle would make it possible.
What do you guys think. Shifter and steer stick on the same side using a hot foot throttle sound kosher?
