"Gene, love the ezy-glide steering on your tdb! i've contemplated putting it on mine as well." Larry, Go for it! Made a huge difference to me. " I'd have to get another motor though." -I just had to buy the control unit to convert the motor, mine was a tiller when I started out as well. "How does it handle?" - It handles better than with the tiller, my weight (240lbs) at the front makes the most difference. MUCH better than an extension handle. MUCH SAFER as well. It's great to be able to see where I'm going! "Can you put the lid on your boat?" -Yes, that is why it is mounted on the deck the way it is. I have to turn it most of the way either direction to put the lid on. Looking back: I got my mind set on the ez-glide and made it work, regular steering would work as well as long as you can install the lid. I put the PTT on at the same time, hard to say as what made the most difference. Both were a great upgrade and moved this little boat into a whole new class! As with any small boat, putting 10lb of SH*t in a 5lb bag is never easy. I'll have to add more pics, I now have my lighted compass, gps, and depth finder mounter as well. All are mounted to the inside of the opening and fold down inside to install the lid. I'd be glad to help any way I can. Gene
