That's a fine explanation. It sounds like you had a good low slop cable
unit, perhaps a rack & pinion helm and a low flex cable. I'm not so
fortunate as I'm getting ~ 45 degrees slop at the wheel and don't have
the lateral space for a rack & pinion helm. Thanks for the info, it's
appreciated.
Yep - mine were rack and pinion. Are you using pulleys? So far I'm
very pleased with the hydraulic. Good luck with your replacement.
When you run your boat in some wave action, I'd be very curious if you
can effect how the boat enters waves and whether you have any spray or
residual pounding. Or if you can change and smooth out the pounding
in say 6 to 18" of wave action.
Where I run my Ranger over in Narragansett Bay, it can turn from flat
calm to 1 foot in a hurry. My Ranger, I readily admit, does not run
very well in that kind of wave action and it's a slow ride back
without taking a beating at speed.
The jack plate didn't work very well for me, but I'd be curious if it
works well for you in that regard.
It would help resolve a long standing debate. :)
Later,
Tom
