: He's got serious monkey arms!! :)

: We've already mocked it up. The boats only 13' long overall so from

: will help. He'll be fine.

You could install some kind of foot steering arrangement, or a couple of ropes or a cable running along the gunnell to a steering yoke. A cable arrangement like a skeg cable with a solid rod at the motor end could be controlled by a sliding knob like a skeg.

I don't know about throttle control though.
