    Recently put together 71 Nordic Longeck w/BBC,had it out for 1st time and steering was very sensitive..turn wheel slighty and boat wants to turn hard,was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to making the steering a little less responsive? Any help would be greatly appreciated..
    Thanks

    Two questions:
    Where is the plate positioned, and how many teeth are on your steering shaft gear?

    Count the teeth on your steering sprocket...usually 11 or 17 (I think).

    Probably have an 8 tooth sprocket on the steering shaft, put a larger one on!..

    Thank you for your help! I will check and see how many teeth it has. I guess I need to go with a larger sprocket? Can I get these at Rex marine? Once again thanks for your help.

    Those sprockets are a Morse part number. You can get those through McMaster Carr. Hope that helps...

    My Nordic is kinda slow to turn. Maybe I need a bigger gear???
