True, keep the ballance right EH? the waves got a little bigger and some started cresting, we were under windvane (monitor) steering, (my first time) and every time I went to grab the wheel the vane did it so after an hour or so?? I settled down..ha,ha.
I have an Ausie Fleming on my boat and I'm still getting used to setting it up but they are just great. Cheers Paul.(Searcher).
