[C320-list] Steering Wheel

[belairlk at aim.com]

Annie, Aqua5, #1070, also has just 1 complete revolution---which I like as it makes for quicker control.  Our engines are 29hp 3YM30's, noticeably quieter than the 27hp 3GM30's on 320's through sometime in mid '05.

The new Topcat 3 has arrived and is looking beautiful.  The engine seems
particularly quiet and I like the push button to stop the engine.
 
A question - how many revolutions do other people's steering wheels do?
Topcat 2's wheel does 2 complete revolutions.  Topcat 3's wheel only does 1
complete revolution - which probably explains why I couldn't make nearly as
sharp turns as on Topcat 2.  I assume the rudder is being restricted from
moving as much as on Topcat 2.  I mentioned this to the dealer who will
check into it but any comments from the font of all knowledge would be much
appreciated!
