I have a Edison Steering System on my C25. The steering on my boat gets very hard in sudden gusts and Medium Winds. Is this normal or should I check/Grease Steering Linkages and where?
The only thing Constant about the Wind is that it is NOT.
Smooth Sailing

Good idea to inspect/adjust/lube steering systems on a regular basis.
Edson provides inspection checklists on their site.

Links to the Edson maintenance manuals are located on this page: http://www.edsonmarine.com/support/techsupport.php

Is this a new development? When the rudder is under strain, such as in going to weather, you will experience more force needed to steer with a wheel or a tiller.

Joe - what model do you have? I see you are in Plainview - just wondering where do you sail, are you trailering or in the water?
