There is even simlper solution to this - not from user point of view but mechanical - the cable that connects boat to the main cable is in one corner of the bow and when you want to drift to the other river bank, you just mount the cable to the other corner and boat just steers itself.<br>You dont need any moving part like the steering lever.,(reply>), kibicz watch the video. That' s exactly how it's done. The rudder is just for increased effect and control.
