mii11x Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 How big a tinnie (length) and what size and model outboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydney south Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Yes i did the same when i bought a 5 metre Brooker tiller steer. This was way too big a boat for a tiller. Plus I like to have full vision over the bow when navigating. It was a simple one day job, after buying all the bits to change it to a side console. For the seat i bought a eskie with a padded top and screw fixed it to the floor. Most modern day out boards will allow you to easily change them from tiller steer to forward steer.

I’m a big fan personally I like the comfort and visibility of either a side console, centre console or forward control. Especially when I have other people on board.

A smaller tinny with the new hulls and side decks it think a tiller is better as you maximise space which is important especially for sub 14 foot boats. Here is a pic of how I have organised my tiller set up - works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
