While I'm waiting for a fish to come in so that I may report it, I thought that perhaps a helpful tip would be nice. What do you do if your steering breaks on your outboard powered boat? The safest bet is to get a tow back home. But is there is no tow available and you must save yourself, here's how to convert your remote-steered motor into a tiller outboard.
NOTE: Emergency, get home use only, and only at an idle, as higher speeds could rip the hood off the motor and you lose control and die.

Shrimp Boat model the duct tape tiller.
Hillbilly engineering at it's finest. I've been wondering what happened to the Shrimp Boat.
