That's the way to do it!
Now here is a fine example of safe boat operation, as depicted in the 1969 Boston Whaler catalog. I'm not sure what the creative helmsmen is pointing to.
"But officer, this can't be unsafe; I saw somebody doing this in the boat catalog."
Is that a Bearcat 55hp four-stroke outboard?

For some reason, lots of 16 Whalers around here were powered by Homelite in the 1960's

Oh gee, maybe this had something to do with it....
In 1966, Textron, Inc. sold the production rights of the Homelite 55 HP outboard to Richard Fisher of Boston Whaler Boats in 1966Living in the Freedom provided by Bud Conner and his fellow warriors.

I remember seeing a bunch of drunks at Compass Lake in Florida. Dude straddled the bow of the Vector and held a rope while the nut head trimmed up and throttled it..... creating a bucking horse effect.
We sat there waiting to see this guy get chopped up.You never know what your faith is, until your faith has been truly tested.

I'm digging that Gordon and Smith beach break board on the whaler ! Growing up on LI I've seen some stuff worse than this , at least he had a steering wheel instead of a pipe , stick welded to the swivel shaft !!
