if you drive a truck/boat with power steering you're not a man
only women drive automatics
it's really humiliating that men can't drive a vehicle without ABS & traction control
Don't be a fool use a tool
Work smarter not harder

If it gets the guy that takes his boat out once a year off the ramp faster then I'm for it. With low water this year one ramp went down to single lane and waited over twenty minutes for him to launch. He couldn't back the trailer up and finally someone had to get in his truck and do it for him.

My wife might use it. How does that even work? Does the switch just make it so that if you move the switch to the right, it moves the steering wheel left or can it actually tell where the trailer is so you can just point it to where you want the trailer to go? From the commercials, I can't tell how it makes the process any easier. I don't think anything works better than practice ... especially when you include the cost of the technology.

Use your sideview mirrors - NOT look over your shoulder, NOT look at your rearview mirror.
Hold steering wheel from the bottom. Put that hand where you need the back of the boat to go while Looking at your sideview mirrors.
DONE

It more or less uses the knob to replace the steering wheel (but in reverse) I honestly don't see it making anything any easier for the average person. Actually I see if becoming dangerous as people will stop looking at surroundings because they are so focused on the rear view camera.
