Couple pictures showing how it sits. A little low in the back but not much water comes in. The shot of the stern while trolling was with me and my son standing back there.
The Sea star steering turned about 5 full turns lock to lock, but it sure seemed to need constant correction at WOT, which is about 44mph at 5400 rpm. I kept trimming and playing with the trim tabs looking for the sweet spot and it almost seemed like I kept cranking the wheel to one side to keep er on course dead ahead. My first experience with hydraulic steering and its different feeling from direct mechanical linkage.
