 Hi, I have an 18-foot Lund Alaskan tiller drive. And for this question, the tiller drive is an important element. There is a phenomenon called a death spiral. If, for instance, a pilot is ejected from a boat and the tiller goes either hard over to starboard or port, the pilot might be ejected and then the boat keeps circling around because the tiller is so hard over to one side or the other.
