Guys-
My steering wheel takes 2 to 3 revolutions to make the rudder go from side to side. It seems excessive and impossible to know where your rudder is when you start tight manuvering. Any repair thoughts would be great. Thanks, NM ------------- Nautique Mike |

2-3 turns is nornmal and try watching ahead of you when you drive the bow will go where the rudder points it. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

Yeh, after 12 you have to close one eye while you are driving. Otherwise your boat will have two bows and your streering gets really crazy. ------------- Happy owner of a '66 and a '68 Mustang |

You guys are killing me with the beer talk!xx
Any chace of me being able to make the stearing more responsive or would that be more dangerous than drinking that 30 pack stowed in my old converted battery box hole? Just add ice!!!!! Thanks- Buzzin' NM ------------- Nautique Mike |

I just want to know how you are getting 30 beers in the in-floor cooler. Mine will not hold nearly that much! ------------- |
