I feel like this is a dumb question, but did the Islander 28 come from the factory with a wheel or tiller?
I am looking at a '77 Islander 28 that has a wheel steering, but I can clearly see in the pictures that there is a mount for a tiller. Also there isn't much of a seat on the transom which makes me think this was converted to wheel steering.
Is there a good way I can tell if it has been converted?
If it has been converted to wheel steering how difficult would it be to take it back to tiller steering?
If it came from the factory is it a good idea to just keep it wheel steering?
Thanks for all your help.
