I need to come-up with TM for the boat (16' Deep-V). My situation is alittle "weird" in that I have not only back problems, but had a knee replacement in February that didn't go "well" :roll: . So not only can I not bend-over, but I've lost about 1/2 the flex (bend) in my right knee, and it's pretty much painful all the time, but any "twisting" makes it worse. From what I've been told, I don't see either situation improving.....

I can't decide on a foot control, or tiller with a tilt-handle on the bow. Money is a major factor, or I'd just get a remote & problem solved. Anyone ever have a similar problem, or want to share your thoughts? I'm even considering using a transom mount since the rear casting deck is narrow, and I could set on the deck & easily (at least I think) reach the tiller TM, and could always get an extension handle. Transom mounts are generally cheaper than bow-mounts anyway. It don't bother me fishing out of the back of the boat, matter of fact, it'd be easier then stepping up onto the front deck.

Thanks

Sure, if you've got one (pic) handy post it.

Thanks!
