A couple of good calls I make as an outrigger steerer to refocus the crew on technique and timing is:
Top Hand Over Bottom And Top Hands Down TogetherVisualise this photo when one or both of these calls are made and you will know what is being asked for - A part of the quality in the stroke and crew blending.
Timing should come mostly from feel and a good visual cue is to synchronise your top hand driving down at the same time as those in front of you. Also helps keep the head up to maximise the breathing efficiency.
Top hand over bottom can help get your paddle side shoulder out and extended along the side of the canoe, soemthing we have been focusing on lately.
