Default Re: Steering torque

Burkeke, Have you adjusted the rudder zink (or is it even there) on the cavitation plate. My steering would always spin violently to the right if you let go of the wheel and a constant fight to keep it on course also boat would wonder side to side at slow speed. Hard to beleive that by turning zink 7 to 10 deg. would make that big of differance on such a small surface, but it did. They loosen, corrode or fall of often. I just went outside to see witch way I had turned it and its missing again. I think the rule is you turn it opposite the way you think. Looking from behind boat I turned the trailing edge to the right I beleive. Adj, when you have it right remove again lock tite bolt. No feed back or hydl steering is the way to go but this might be cheaper for now. Crusher
