Stiff Steering

Post by Allezcat »

During a run this past Saturday, I expeienced very stiff steering at higher speeds (14-15kts). The steering is normal at low speeds . Anyone have an idea where to look?

Hi Chet,
I have found that centering the rudders will solve the stiffness at speed.

I recentered the rudders and "Voila", the steering is normal at high speeds now. Simply amazing. Thank you! Thank you!
