Take a look at Royce's personal page to show his mounting. http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...user_id=45 Edited by Phil T on 10/30/17 - 6:11 AM 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

I have always steered with the main for the most part, however, I'm going to try and link the two next summer. Steering with the main works well in relatively calm conditions, but when it's windy it has it's limitations. Trolling doesn't really require a lot of gross corrections, so the main works fine as a rudder. However, I bought a place in Florida on a canal and it would be nice to drive out on the kicker to avoid hitting anything with the expensive stainless prop on the main.
