I have a 2014 21' SmokerCraft with a Yamaha F115 and the BayStar hydrolic steering. It works well enough except when docking. It would be nice if the motor turned sharper. Does anyne know if there is a way to modify this unit to turn the motor sharper or do I need a different setup all together?

Thanks,

Larry

How about a pic of how it is attached to the motor?

I retro-fitted my Baystar unit a few months ago. My unit turns as sharply as my former Teleflex system did...but your may be different. Go to the Sea-Star website and look for the installation instructions for your particular motor. I don't believe there are further modifications possible. Would be nice to really turn the motor sharply though.
