[QUOTE="thill, post: 479180, member: 4972"] Oh, but for what it's worth.... I learned a long time ago, that the easiest way to steer with a kicker is to lock it straight ahead, and use the big motor as a rudder. Most small motors have a center lock for just this reason. It works great, unless you are in tight quarters, like when docking, then you need to grab the tiller. That being said, with your power steering setup, you can lift your big motor out of the water for better efficiency. [/QUOTE]
