Most of my outboard boats of recent vintage had that steering system. In
fact, my current Parker had it...but I had it swapped out for hydraulic.
I didn't have any problems with it, but I got a few complaints about
"overcoming" prop torque.
Zero feedback does not relieve you from adjusting the trim tab to
minimize prop torque.
We went through that. Also swapped out the helm and the cable. Dealer
and Parker agreed that perhaps the "angles" the cable had to make were
"sharper" than average, and they came up with a "deal" for the two of
them to swap out the "no feedback" system for a factory hydraulic
system. Whatever the problem was, the solution worked out for everyone.
