We had a small aft wheel installed on our build. It is hooked into the SeaStar (?) system. The last time we were out I trolled the boat down and went aft to steer the boat.
Surprisingly it was easier to steer than with the main wheel. I had my wife maneuver the boat and run it for about 15 minutes, Figure 8's , zig zag . Our wheel is set up the same as the main wheel i.e. turn to starboard boat goes to starboard..
What was surprising was how good the visibility was looking straight though the cabin..
We passed on another set of engine controls. The cabling is accessible through an inspection port so we can always add it later.
