[Rhodes22-list] Tohatsu Bad Reputation???

[Bud]

Elle,
   consider a tiller mounted control setup if your docking situation is 
tricky - such as a docking
in a tight slip in a congested marina.  Having the 
Forward/Reverse/Throttle/Kill Switch on the
tiller is real handy when you are trying to finesse the boat to the dock 
by yourself.
