Hi all,
Proud owner of a 41' president trawler here with a question about the helm function. Both the upper and lower helm act the exact same way in that they are relatively easy to turn and the rudders respond correctly. Helm pumps are 700 Wagners.
The thing is, both helms become noticibly harder to turn when the rudder is all the way over but they will both turn indefeinately.
Recently had an old school marine tech look at it and he said it is normal.
Can someone please enlighten me if this is as designed as it doesn't seem right to me.
Thanks very much,
Phil
