Mine is the sidekick and I absolutely love it. After getting the tab set right it is effortless even slicker than the cable steering wheel on my Triton. I did own ezyglide stick steer years ago...purchased it brand new. Never really was happy with it. Those guys that make those are really nice people. Last I heard even the inventor was still around. They have a few fixes for it for sure. Might be worth giving them a call. But if that rod is bent and scraping the tube it will always be a pain.
