when i started boating last year i had no guidance at all and started by sitting on the wrong side and i have found it difficult (impossible) to change .now however with my new rib im going to have to do it ,no ifs or buts .so today ive made a new garmin mount and fitted it and left the old one in situ to use as a rod holder mount, also repositioned my tacho . so if i can adapt to sitting the right side i will also be able to see the tell tale, very important.

Hey sonny, nice mods. :thumbsup

Apart from having the tiller comfortably at arms reach, being able to see the telltale and counteracting prop torque, after Brexit anybody found helming from the port side will be deemed to be one of those ‘Johnny Foreigner’ types and promptly deported. :whistle

Migrate to Australia Sonny, it's our national language.
By telltale, are you referring to the stream of water that comes from the outboard?

Bournemouth Airshow next weekend. It will be busy but good fun.
I will probably be out if the weather isn’t crap.
