VA Whaler, we sat at the stern, one guy on each side on the outboard. A pilot told us direction to turn and we pushed with our feet. Crazy but faster than a tow. We had a chase boat nearby.


That must have been pretty wild to see. I thought maybe you roped a couple paddles, boathooks, etc to the side of the engine and used it like a tiller.

So when you lost the steering, did the engine swing wildly to one side while under power or did the engine just remain stationary when you turned the wheel?
