slight adjustment but not really noticeable. I always tighten the steering so that inertia wont pull the motor off line, that said you cant leave it for long. That shot was taken on a 16 hour non stop run in which the Century only stopped once and that was due to me neglecting to pump fuel. An interesting note on gearbox health. After the run I checked the oil and it was still serviceable with less than 25% emulsion. (no free water).

So when repairing the gear box alway pay particular attention to the bearings and replace if warn.

For a long run I always use two engines saves the stress of unshipping an engine in a seaway in event of failure.
