I have the opportunity to install a Unihelm in my tender if I make a
decision quickly. The Unihelm will enable me to sit and face forward,
steering and operating the throttle/gears with a console rather than sitting
sideways on the tube of my RIB. The downside is adding weight and taking up
room in the tender. My question is do people commonly opt for operating
their tender from the tube or is a console that much of a safety
improvement that it's the norm? I'm a bit concerned about dragging the
tender up on a beach and keeping it as simple as possible. I tend to
overcomplicate things J
