Won’t know for myself till middle of February when I get to steer possibility new to us 36’ Fu Hwa aft cabin with full sun deck hard top enclosure.
I like to say I have been trapped in Mexico for the last 44 days, and banned from my boat to everyone here. So 18 more sleeps till I get back to the docks, or if I get my way I will be at the Vancouver boat show...
My question! I just thought of when steering from lower helm you would have absolutely no visual from behind from swiveling around your chair to do a shoulder check. At best you would have to open side door and hang over board to see around the fat a@s of the aft.
Our current boat we have a 360 view from the wheel and have had some pretty big vessels sneak up on us. And yes are electronics are dated!!
Can this be a problem?
Have you mounted aft camera?
Even from the upper there is limited viewing with dink on the hard top, radar arch and other goodies....
I’m starring at the pictures of the boat daily, and starting to fear, this style of trawler and many other aft style brands.
You never get to see what you passed!! Hmmm
