I'm all over that area several times a week. It's usually crowded on weekends to the extent I'm surprised no one got slammed into by it. Word I got was the guys were crowded around the helm while underway and someone fell forward
onto the throttle launching them all out.

I don't hava lanyard switch on my V-20 but, I've had both feet off the floor hanging onto the helm coming off backsides of huge waves.

I'd like to know why the boat ran such a straight line.

No Feed Back. It's not hydraulic but supposedly doesn't have as much feedback.

Yeah, like Joe said. That's what I installed on my dually when I had it. You can let go of the wheel underway and it will stay right where it is...
