This is something I have brought up before. I have a 08 H41DS. This 300 hr lightly used 2 owner never damaged boat has HUGE port helm when motoring, it would be totally unmanageable without autopilot. If I am motoring at 2.5k rpm and release autopilot the wheel would spin as fast as possible to port till it hits the stop. My best guess is 4-6 lbs torque on the wheel to port. Helm is balanced under sail, my issue is only under power. When motoring there is no vibration, wobble detectable. The rudder is not bent. I thought this was a design defect but I have 2 neighbors with this same hull and they don't know what I am talking about, i.e. they don't have this issue. My only thoughts at the moment is a misalignment of engine/propeller shaft. What I am seeking here is for any owners of 04-14 H41 Glenn Henderson hull to tell me what their helm is like at 2400 rpm? I am in a boatyard now getting a new bottom so now is the time to address this. Ideas, thoughts are very welcome.
Thanks
