I recall reading a study that concluded the best angle for a ship's wheel was 30 degrees from vertical. This is similar to most sport fisherman and center console boats, all of which are higher speed and require quicker maneuvering than an 8 knot trawler.
Does anyone have experience with an angled helm on a trawler, other than the traditional vertical wheel?
