Also, when turning the helm slow, it like I can feel small bumps

Mike....have you tried it in t

Mike....have you tried it in the water running since you installed kit?it may not be as loose then..also try turning the motor by hand and see how loose it is...i dont know the brand i have installed on my boat but it is much easier to turn it from the wheel while on trailer..the important thing is the wheel controls the motor and not vice versa if you let go of the wheel while underway..good luck...Carl

Thanks for the reply. It is just as easy in the water running as dry."
