    Default adjusting the steering

    I rebuilt my steering port and adjusted my steering when I reassembled everything. Last year my boat turned a lot sharper to the right than the left. So I adjusted it so the rudder is straight, and I have the same amount of turns from lock to lock. The only problem is the steering wheel is upside down. What's the solution for this?

    The center cap can be changed around but the design of the wheel and the "spokes" are still upside down.

    Does your wheel look like mine? Mine is only a little off center and I have thought about getting it closer. Wonder if the "bolt pattern" would allow for that adjustment.

    Here's my dash. It's similar to yours. The bolt pattern is not adjustable. I pulled the steering wheel last winter and there's a keyway that only allows it to go on one way.

    Guys I think there is a big nut under your center round piece and you can pull the wheel off straighten the rutter and then push it back on in the position you like. I think. I havnt taken mine off yet. Anybody??

    There is a big nut under the cap of the wheel, but you can't put the wheel anywhere you want it. There is a keyway that dictates where the wheel sits on the hub. The adjustment has to come back by the rudder or perhaps there is something you can do with the part behind the dash that I'm not aware of.
