Yup hard to put an instrument pod in the middle of an empty deck.

() Of course the flip side is that with a tiller, you move it out of the way and you have loads of space in the cockpit... which is why they are now inventing such things as swing-away wheels and folding wheels... those wheels and pedestals just are in the way.
Personally I have instruments on the cabin wall visible from the cockpit and a radar on a swing arm which allows viewing either in the cockpit or at the nav station... and with a tiller, I have a big empty cockpit available for cocktails.
I just have to work out a table arrangement... I saw a nice idea in GOB.

- The impairment to visibility is not the worst of this arrangement, however…
- There's no traffic, so there's no problem... LOL!!!!
- Problem solved !!!!
- With that many gizmos, I'm surprised you need to look Jon.
- I'm surprised there isn't.....

- Real men stand at the wheel? Or steer from the coamings?

- I don't see the problem
- Can't you just run it from your home using the new ICW app on your i-phone?
- Wrong placement
- Don't worry about the other boats. They'll get out of your way.
