Hard not to, but using the helm as support to keep yourself upright during rodeo rides (push/pull) is naturally going to loosen, wear, bend it.
All that heavy diy automotive setup is just some guys idea of reinventing the wheel. Cable steering is much simpler, lighter, very easy to diy, incl remote repairs.
Check out some other boats for ideas. KISS.

Non-return valves are inherently very unreliable. You should have spares on board and if the system depends on the checkvalve to not sink, then it is wrong & dangerous. Bilge pumps should outlet above the waterline on or near the centerline so they cant immerse when heeled. So in practice this means the transom. And any line like this that can siphon back in MUST be fitted with an anti – siphon loop which is as high as possible right under the deckhead. All connections must have double hose clamps which must be inspected regularly replaced every few years.

The old hair clog. Classic. Having to brush hair outside the boat is a hassle at first, but well worth it once you get used to it.
Keep up the great work, y’all!

Also I have just noticed that you have a white valve with a red handle below the water line. These should not be used below the waterline. They are prone to splitting. Next time you are on the hard, replace them with trudesign composite ones.

Hi guys you need to move your bilge pump outlets to above the waterline. On mine they exit at the stern with a non return valve in the line. Below waterline bilge pump outlets are a disaster waiting to happen.

It would appear that Poseidon has decided to (foghorn) with you. I'm glad you have been able to experience some beauty in your destinations and some while sailing. You have been tested. I don't know how you feel about the lost footage, but having sat there and talked through the troubles thinking you were laying it out there for us to see, would have been very hard. My posts are too long, and I apologize. I'm letting myself get involved in your journey. Stay safe.

Still no PFD's? You are sailing reefed with one person in the cockpit and the other the cabin resolving bilge pump issues. You are learning valuable skills/lessons with each passage. What is it going to take to learn that you need to wear a pfd on passages? One small slip and your lives could change.

Should be able to remove a bolt off the rack and slide the shaft out, then spin the wheel. I doubt the problem is in the rack after seeing how bent the shaft is and how much movement is in the bearings. You could wrap a little sand paper around the shaft, working it back and forth to sand away some clearance on the beam where the shaft is making contact.

Thanks for sharing. Loved how you work together to solve the issues and never yelling and getting too excited which would just increase the stress! Another experience to making you both better sailors. Phoebe you narrated and summarized very smoothly. You are not just another pretty face! Good job on the pump rebuild and that's why you have that "junk". You guy are living the dream. Best of luck to you both, enjoy.
