Every boat has some vision issues and accessibility issues. It might be getting from the upper helm to the side deck. It might be lack of side decks. It might be vision limited by galley cabinets. Flybridge helms don't eliminate them all. They may give you a better all around view but depending on how far forward or back the helm is, there are still areas vision very close to the boat isn't good. So, the key is finding effective tools to work around any vision problem. Those tools may include a second person with a good walkie-talkie system, mirrors, cameras, wired controls at multiple locations and wireless controls. You just find what works best for you. Now, the key is to do whatever it takes. Don't just live with not being able to see and problems that result. Find the solution that works for you on your boat.
