If the autopilot ram is doing double duty as a rudder stop, that is bad. You
need to re'locate the rudder stop further inboard on the quadrant to limit
travel and then re-set the throw on the AP. Most autopilot Rams will mount
roughly 8" from center on your rudder post.

I get a little less than 3/4 of a turn to the port and to the stbd.
Whenever I make adjustments I make sure that the amount of travel is equal
on both sides and then of course make sure that with the wheel centered it
steers a straight course.

On my 34, there is a rubber stop on top of the quadrant, on centerline. It has
hard stops on a laminated rib to either side on the bottom of the cockpit.
There is no adjusting, it's an Edson system.
I am at about 300 degrees of movement on the wheel from center to hard over.

I was starting to worry that my steering was all wrong, but Andy, you put

I think Peregrine is 1 or 1 1/2 turns. The way our boats were designed,
they don't need a ton of the mechanical advantage that increases the number

On some boats, steering is like having an argument you're
Hi David,
Since you're curious, my wheel is 3 turns
lock-to-lock, which makes it one and a half turns from mid to hard-over.
It is my routine to do a lock-to-lock check and
return to centre before leaving the dock. Which
could be a hold-over form the old days, my
cruising boats had hydrauli
pulleys below the pedestal.
Hope this all helps..

I've been messing with my steering and the placement of the wheel stop on
the quadrant. My question is, how many turns (or partial turns) of the
wheel past midships does your steering system allow?
Thanks,
David
