Due to the motor being easy to turn because of the remote steering, it will go to one side quickly. This is just a good time to look at the whole thing. Good Luck

It is the only legal type steering system allowed by the APBA in outboard boat racing, where some boats travel well over 100mph. It is very SAFE if kept in good condition. Rich

Nothing worse than being short and having to throw it all away. Its all one size, if you find other sizes,(doubtful) bring a pulley with you as a guide. Rich
