Judy I have a Montgomery 15 with the stern pulpit. It is very useful as a backrest, mount fishing pole etc., possible stern light mount, and due to no lifelines makes the cockpit more secure. I have not found that the stern pulpit is a problem when operating an outboard motor.

I am concerned that it may interfere with the operation and positioning of the outboard. Any thoughts on this issue would be appreciated.
