Had it with Hydraulic
After two hydraulic helms and one cylinder in four years, I've had it. I pulled out the hoses and bad helm and replaced it with the new NFB mechanical. It has clutches that lock out feedback while on course, and a gearing system that reduces torque while changing course. It will still be a bit harder to steer than hydraulic, but at least IT WORKS!
The wheel ends up closer to the dash and gives me a bit more room, and I covered the steering rod with a bellows after lubing the crap out of the moving parts.
