Deadliest catch - how do those guys control the boat?
I noticed this the other day and figured you guys would know..
you never see a Captain on the Deadliest Catch actually using a steering wheel, it doesn't even look like there is even one in front of them in the capatain's chair they all sit in.
I assume it's all done elecronically (like autopilot) and they just adjust the throttle as needed, you always see their hand on the throttle?
