You should be able to check it just by looking at how the shaft exits behind the engine -

I did not realize that it was a possibility. I will have to check this winter when on the hard. I have a vague recollection of it not being straight relative to the axis of the boat and that might be why. If so, I guess that would explain the pull.

But what I really want to know from the group is whether the relatively strong pull to port while motoring is normal or whether neutral helm is normal.

I found that it was frequently cutting out while motoring (not sailing). The unit would simply freeze up and stop steering while the boat drifted slowly off course. No error on the P70 controller screen until I got an off course warning. I also noticed the wheel pilot getting warm/hot when this was happening which may be why it cut out. I also notice that while motoring, there is significant pull on the wheel that has to be fought to keep the boat going straight. Is that normal? I am guessing that the wheel pilot is overheating due to the power needed to continuously fight that pull?
