    Why does my steering stiffen up at speed?

    So, yesterday I greased the pivots on the transom mount and that seemed to help. I also experimented with trimming the motor up and that helped a bit too. So between the two, I’m going to monitor for a while and see how things go, then turn to the steering cable if I’m still having issues...

    electric c-dory and speed with kickers

    I recently explored this quite a bit while working on repowering my 16 CD. The most promising option seemed to be a company in Seattle called Pure Watercraft. They make a very sleek 50hp-equivalent electric outboard and their people were very helpful in walking me through the potential. (They...

    Why does my steering stiffen up at speed?

    How do I tell if my steering cable is of the “non-feedback” type?

    Why does my steering stiffen up at speed?

    Thanks for all the helpful replies. I sort of assumed the mechanic who installed the engine also lubricated all the steering swivel points on the motor and transom mount. He *was* very thorough, but I didn’t ask. So I guess I’ll start with that. I do know there are zerk fittings in a few places...

    Why does my steering stiffen up at speed?

    It’s cable steering with a single cable mechanism behind the helm. Issue has been there since I bought the boat about six months ago. It had an ancient 2-stroke that I had a mechanic replace with a newer (used) 4-stroke. No change in the problem with the engine swap. Previous owner told me he...

    Why does my steering stiffen up at speed?

    My steering spins just fine at the dock and at low speeds. But once I open up the throttle, the wheel gets very hard to turn — two hands required! What’s going on and how do I fix this?

    Is this the Weld Mount you are referring to? https://www.fisheriessupply.com/weld-mount-systems And do you think it would work for a fuel tank?

    Karen: Yes, that was us! Glad that trick worked for you, too. Is yours a 16 also?

    most comfortable pfd

    I just got a Mustang Khimera and love it so far. Bit different concept. Slim foam flotation with a pull cord for additional inflation. The latter is not automatic — you gotta pull the cord. Also has a manual nozzle to inflate with your breath as a backup feature. Light, slim & comfortable. I...

    Handheld VHFs with GPS/DSC

    The automated radio check stations, I believe, are gone from the West Coast. I have used Ch. 16 a few times recently with a prompt reply from fellow boaters and no friction from USCG (after installing a new VHF radio and then a new antenna). Of course, this does not test the MMSI, only the...
