*This makes my old motor look like a toy **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's well built. I haven't had it on the water yet, but I'm very sure it will perform just fine.*
You made that look simple thanks for this. I've always used a wheel and now sold the boat and bought another boat that needs a outboard. So I was worried about controlling it but after watching you I see how easy it is thanks again 😌
I really like this electric motor. It's super quiet and very easy to handle. I lift this up easily with one hand and stow it away inside my yacht. So happy with this purchase. The battery to run it is another story.
DH & I are looking for a motor for the new boat we're getting this weekend and saw 'tiller steer' in descriptions. Neither of us knew what it meant, so we searched 'tiller boat motor' and found your video, only to learn it's what we've been using for years on our flat-bottom boat and v-boat. DH doesn't like to drive, while I love to drive, so we've carried driving over from the roads to the waters, and I can definitely say, it's a blast!!!! Thanks for the quick video that answered our question.
I think an easy way to understand this is that when you want to go left you point the tiller to the right because the back of the tiller will cause the rudder to move left which will cause the water to push the stern of the boat right causing the bow to go left
Is normal to always sit on the left side (facing it) of the motor like you are in this video, and control it with your left hand? Seems all tillers are on the right side (facing it) of the motor.
My question for everybody is on manual tilt outboards do you simply leave the motor "unlocked" or do you put a pin in one of the holes for desired trim? Ive heard mixed reviews, mostly people saying they leave it unlocked in case the lower unit were to strike an object while travelling. I personally run it unlocked but run into issues with porpoising from time to time. Of course when i am moving the boat on a trailer it remains locked so it doesn't bounce around. Any feedback would be much appreciated!
May I ask where you got that tiller extension? The vast majority of the ones I see online all say for 15HP outboards or under but you're using it just fine with a 25HP. A product link would be greatly appreciated!
It's just weird that whichever way you turn the tiller the boat would go in the opposite direction that to me is weird. I'm also used to a steering wheel
I'm not entirely sure why, but I actually prefer a tiller steer to a wheel even though handling the former is less intuitive. Maybe it feels more "boat-y" to me.
Depending on the boat and motor, tiller steers actually offer a lot more control over the steering. However it obviously isn’t quite as easy to hold the throttle steady

Good primer for the hard of thinking.
Thank you so much for making this little video.
Thanks!
Was very useful!!!
Also always remember to open up the pressure release valve on your gas can

It’s really helped me thank ya!!!

Who makes the boat

Damn, that’s what I was wondering, too. I guess no answer
What type of boat is that?
Wish my girlfriend would've watched this before she damn near launched me out of the boat. Lol!
lmao
Haha
🚤🏃 , she will get the hang of it - mines did 👍
😂😂oh dear lol that's why I'm watching it Just incase lol!
Beautiful place , where it is ?
Could you tell me what boat is being used in this video, and what motor?
I like that boat too...
It's just weird that whichever way you turn the tiller the boat would go in the opposite direction that to me is weird. I'm also used to a steering wheel
Where can I get the extension handle for the handle?
Can I get the make of that boat please thank you
Driving backwards would have been more interesting.

Yay
May have problems attaching the tether when boating naked...
you should be wearing a like jacket, even if you can swim well
Yes,frees up your hands ...I find my balance is not as good as it used to be....
not really a boating "tip", but more of a basic boating 101.
That boat wasn't even on plain
Whats a moran@eddie?
wish that i`ve knwn the steering oposites before they put me to drive my friends little 16ft jon with a 65 hp motor I fucking ate the whole deck.
If you need to explain to folks how to steer a tiller they need to do all a favor and stay at home away from those who have a fully operative Brain.
