Sailing with an outboard and tiller... I could use some tips!

Aux Motor Connection Rod

I couldn't get any EZ-Steer dealer to sell me one for my boat, so I got an Aux Motor Connection Rod from Cabela's for about $75.00 less than the EZ-Steer.

I ordered mine from the on-line site.


Its worked great for me for 8 years.

I would always leave the rudder on, except when launching or recovery by trailer. I think it is a good safety to have the rudder in-place, what if the motor quits? With the rudder in you have more options to maneuver the boat, rudder sculling to turn the boat, raising a sail and so on.

That’s what I do too. Find it a much safer option.
