Last weekend I sailed my Adventure Island with the steering knob turned out 90 degrees. Push forward to turn starboard and pull back to turn to port. What a difference it made for me. It's very natural and you don't feel like your fighting to keep the boat on course. In fact it, after a few minutes, I just forget that I was steering the boat, it felt so natural and took so much less effort. Here is the video of the mods made. The tiller handle is not necessary to enjoy this change. By the way, the tiller handle was painted black. The sailing footage was before turning the handle 90 degrees.
