    with a planning boat like yours you only have tiny rudders so it would be helpful in crosswinds if you could have the outboard steer with the helm. On my Gemini catamaran we have lines running from the back of the motor to the rudders and maneuverability is excellent, we navigated all the locks in the Erie to the Oswego and then the Trent Severn. Does anyone make a electronic gearshift for outboards?
