Will,

Looking back, we could have done it ourselves. We were glad to have the assistance of an employee/friend at Norton Yacht Sales in Deltaville, Virginia. Everything went well. The weight of the unit lowered the back of our boat and required a slight modification of the rudder.

It took us about 10 minutes to get a feel for the unit. We are sure that we will continue to learn how to use it but we are comfortable after one outing.

We love it!

Margaret

P.S. We lost the rudder pin. Oops

Hi Will,

You can absolutely use our pictures and email. The pictures are very helpful when installing the Hydrovane.

The bungee cord trick for placing the rudder on the shaft is “The Bomb”!

[Editor’s note: use a heavy duty spring line bungee to reduce chatter while motoring… attach to Hydrovane rudder handle, and cinch up to a cleat]
