Just remember that the chain/wire "crosses over" inside the pedestal; the cable
from the port side of the quadrant comes over the starboard side of the
sprocket, and vice versa.
Otherwise, your steering will be even more interesting next time you go out...

Hi,
A loop is a good idea, a vented loop even better, but a cost effective solution
would be to install a simple check valve. If it is installed down near an
automatic pump, then you have the added benefit of the valve keeping the hose
water from filling back into the bilge after the pump shut
This isn't a bad idea either...maybe get an updated value for insurance as well.
