LEANING POST?

[fishmaster63]

hey guys, the helm on these things looks awful low... does anybody run standing up or leaning or do you have to sit? if you stand do you have to stretch to reach the wheel?

[Skools Out]

i usually drive standing mine is just right at the top of the wheel or use your Nortons to hold the wheel if you're MJ.

I prefer to sit but visibilty becomes a problem if it is choppy, my windshield wiper does not work and any salt spray fogs up that windshield quick, a convertible leaning post seat would be nice I think, look right over the windshield, I have to crane my neck to do that now

[reelapeelin]

Depends on the weather...COLD, I'm down BEHIND the windshield!!...not cold, I'm sittin' w/a cushion on the seat or standin'...6'4'' and no problem reachin' the wheel here... :)...toss the Nortons over the left shoulder ...clears access to throttle...

[rb437]

Weather permitting, I usually stand with the seat slid all the way back and have no problems reaching the controls.

[willy]

Throw my nortons over my left shoulder :o you a crazy man ;D

[reelapeelin]

The throttle business was a bit of a stretch...they won't reach over the right shoulder for some reason... ::)...

After years of slaming while driving standing up, my nortons hit the floor now!! :o
So Now i tend to sit, unless CB is with me, then he is th offical norton holder!! :-*

In your dreams MJ. Only in your dreams.



Mj has obviously taken one to many hits from the Hooka, because he seems to be tripping.......................... ::)



I prefer standing and removed the flipback cooler seating from my center console and installed the leaning post shown in my gallery. Todd Industries makes a single pedestal leaning post that is interchangable with pedestal type seats. ;)

This way, you're not commited to one or the other.

[fishmaster63]

yes im having alot of different feelings right now.

[shicks007]

I prefer to drive while standing, no problem reaching the wheel. But as RAP said, if it's cold me and my nortons are tucking behind the tucking windsheild.

Hey M.J.... the nortons on the floor thing creates a nasty visual man. Hanging down like two 32oz. MOJO's?

[chumbucket]

MJ is tucking nuts!!!!!!!!!! ;D

[macojoe]

those nortons on the truck are modeled after my own!! They are huge!! :D ;D ;)

[chumbucket]

Listen..............keep your personal problems to yourself and get back to work. Oh wait, that would mean going back to sleep wouldn't it. ::)

[macojoe]

I am not sleepy tonight, at least not yet!! But I will be going to sleep at some point, you can be sure of that!!

Its a tuff job but someone has to do it ;)

[chumbucket]

I have no problem at all steering the boat with both hands behind my back. :o ;D 8)

[reelapeelin]

Yeah, but w/that thing thru the sterring-wheel spokes, doesn't it SCRATCH the dash up when bustin' waves? ???...

[chumbucket]

Tube socks my friend. They keep things warm and protect against scratching. ;D
