[QUOTE="fish2keel, post: 316043, member: 4062"] Ive never heard of a boat having that much torque and snapping the wheel. That seems odd. Tiller models do come with lanyards. You should have no problem with the torque on a tiller especially if you are buying new. The newer models from Etec and mercury are great and they have worked hard to make the torque more manageable. Maybe someone else can chime in more. I know on my tiller which is a 40hp prop( i know not a jet) but the torque is fine. I just adjusted the tab above the prop so it would counter steer to side when up on plane so I didnt have to hold onto the tiller so hard. I can drive now with barely holding the tiller. I hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
