Steering on the 23'6"
Messages 1 to 1 of 1.
It is a 23'6" Colvic Watson fishing boat built in 1983 with a large wheelhouse, it has quite a lot of ballest layed throught the hull, but when under way it is a pig to keep on course and very touchy on the wheel, to the point that having made a correction on the wheel I then have to correct the other way and so it goes on, it keeps running off to port or starbord and the faster I go the worse it gets, it did have a rudder extention on it which I have removed this and it has improved it by about 40%, I have checked the rudder and it is not loose and there is very little play in the steering gear. Does anybody know how much ballest should be there and if it should be in the middle of the boat, as mine is mid and aft, also with the fuel tanks aft, could this be the problem? or is there something I am missing, or is there a known a fault with these boats?
