I have a small leak around the rudder and assume it is the packing. Do I need to be concerned about this as it is the start of the boating season in Michigan. Will it last and does it just gradually get worse as the packing gets worn? Can I tighten the nut and will that reduce the leakage...

Hi All, I have a 44 Sedan Bridge (2008). What is the normal range for the rudder indicator on the Smart Craft display? I'm showing 20 to 20 degrees lock to lock. The indicator goes up to 60. I don't know that I've ever paid attention to this. Is 20 degrees normal? Thanks Chris

Does anyone know if there is a sending unit to send the outdrive angle to the rudder angle indicator on the SmartCraft system? I hate to admit I lose (forget) my steering angle OFTEN when trying to dock. Thanks, Jason
