everyone not laugh at the same time, please. New to boating and was wondering at approximately what angle a motor should be at when you are in full steer. My boat is a 15.5 Edson with a 1975 40 HP rude. Steering to the right or left my motor is at approx. a 45 degree angle. I have tried to adjust steering but it always seems to be the same. Now that you are done laughing, and wiping your eyes could some one please help. Dieing to get on the water. Thanks

Hi, Kiya.<br /><br />Welcome to the board.<br /><br />As long as you are getting about the same angular displacement, port and starboard, you are just fine.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
