They do not have rake adjusting castings soo...hope they look ok!

Last summer i was experiencing quite a bit of helm...how much helm is normal? is there a way to measure the pull on the tiller?

Does toe in or out on the rudders also cause helm?

Maybe its just normal and I need to go to the gym and get some bigger biceps! :)

Weather helm should be enough to make the boat round up slowly when you release the tiller. There should be a constant light pull. Well balanced helm can be held by a couple fingers.

There is a FAQ on rudder rake and alignment:
