Ok Guys and Girls what do you prefer Tiller or Steering Wheel?Need your fair opinions!We already know what the Bass Boats prefer.I see some boats with a console and a steering wheel trolling with a tiller kicker.

 

Disreguard my first 2 attempts at this poll which ended up in the Help section.LOL I am just getting used to this board.I am stuck in between tiller and wheel.I like fishing for walleye in the warm summer with a tiller but come November I would prefer to have a full wrap windshield with the steering wheel and a roof.

I prefer a side console with wheel and shield. I have this on my Lund and its great and the perfect compromise. I have tons of fishable area and its easy to walk around all over the boat.

THIS is what I think . If it is just for fishing then tiller is the only way togo. IT is better for fishing because you can control the boat better tighter turns and everything is at your arms reach . I had a tiller and I miss it. I have a 17 ft LUND now with console and wish I got it with a tiller .MY next one will be tiller thats for sure. ITS hard to operate steering wheel and a down rigger at the same time for one person. YOU REALLY need to try them both out so you can make up your own MIND. IT really is personal THING. Just my too cents.

 

IT really comes down to what suites you best . Try them both out before you buy and you CAN'T GO WRONG.

IMHO to me it boils down to two things size of the boat and what kinda of fishing your doing. Smaller boats tillers a great, larger boats I don't think you can beat the comfort of a console.

Dang I never do any good at this question because I dont know what my boat is. You sit in the middle of the boat up high so you can see were you are going and the throttle is on the right and the steering rod is on the left. I dont have a console and I aint giving my motor a "reach back" soooooo......?

I own a console full windshield rig now and i love it,its nice on those long runs on cold mornings.

My previous rig was a tiller and it was great for fishing lots of control but those long runs on a cold morning were no fun.

In a perfect world, both.

 

Can't beat a tiller when fishing alone, BUT, like Wayne, I am a windshield and top man all the way for various reasons.

Since I can only afford one boat it'll have to do. I understand you can get tops with full enclosures for tillers. I may look into though I'm quite fond of frostbit cheeks.

I'd love to see the forearms on a person that could drive a tiller powered 225 or more hp bass boat to 70 plus mph.

 

lol

 

Console for me, but I'm getting softer in my old age.
