But a bigger wheel.

Big enough it's getting kinda silly.

I wonder how many turn of a wheel like this to go chock to chock?

It's 3 turns on my helm...how about yours?

Quite like my wheel. It's about the same turns as my C&C was I think,
just a heck of a lot more precise and reachable from anywhere in the
cockpit.

You think? You do not know?

I only noted that it was like the C&C, but I don't recall how many
turns...not many, perhaps 2. I'll check and let you know.

Rob,
From now on I suggest that when you move any boat, before you untie the
boat, put the engine in gear and check the steering back and forth at
least twice chock to chock. In doing this you understand where center
is, and you know your steering is working properly.

I learned this lesson the hard way.

I know exactly where center. There's a mark on the wheel for it as
well. Even without it I can always feel where the rudder is once we're
moving.

Damn straight. It's worth checking every time you take out the boat.
