Dennis, While reusing a damaged sprocket isn't the best idea, the one thing I'd do to prevent the chain override in the future is to get the bolt and nut out of the chain and install a legit steering stop at the "quadrant" (really a radial drive). As discussed by others, this would involve boltin

Instead of modifications to the strut, why not consider changing the placement of the strut. Due to the curvature of the hull a 1/2 inch movement aft may give a surprising improvment to the situation. A shaft coupler/vibration dampener will add about 2 inches of length. More movement than that m

When I upgraded the engine on my 40 I increased the prop pitch, which made her pull harder to port in reverse. What I would do is get some sternway on and then put the engine in neutral and I could steer just fine. I wouldn't worry about having the helm hard over. See if it works, there's certainly
