Hi Matt - I did test steerage this last season with having the boat at cruising speed, going into neutral, and then applying vary degrees of turn on the wheel. I didn't perceive any dramatic loss of control and could still do a complete 360 degree circle while coasting in neutral, probably in about 3 boat lengths by the (very slow) end of the circle. With power on I can do the circle inside 2 boat lengths.
One hypothesis that will remain just a hypothesis is that straight ahead cruising might slightly benefit from not having the rudder directly in the prop wash. Probably not an experiment that has been run, but maybe?
Thanks for the feedback,
Lars
