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

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!..
Art, Isn't it the other way around?

Shit that's right my bad, thanks for the correction!..
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.
Yep, Rex can handle it for ya!..
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???
