After doing some research on the subject, I found that this problem seems to be common with Thrustmaster T150 wheels. Have you contacted Thrustmaster about the problem. It's possible you got one that's DOA (dead on arrival). They should replace it if that's the case.
Personally, I haven't had much luck with Thrustmaster in the past and the products always broke, probably due to design flaws.

As far as I know, new hull options should coming in the future since Scott is working on a new model that should be more accurate. When that happens, all the boat paint schemes will probably need to be redone which will take time.
I think more courses are planned for the future, but they’re not needed at the moment and Scott is the only person working on that aspect of the sim so it will take time.
Increasing the number of races might be an option in the future, but we’re trying to emulate the real schedule and these races do take up a lot of time (3-4 hours per race).
As for the parallel rollers off the log boom in Seattle, I think it’s already there.
Welcome Jared. We just finished our first season of HydroSim, so we have stats from all the courses. Each race and therefore each course have a tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet. They all have qualifying times included. The fastest guys have been in the 154-164mph range depending on the course. Not all of us are that fast though. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hlvN3qbJ1gVwvZPYNm4MwRkKFdmJe7Zn35EhXoJI4eU/edit#gid=0
Here's the link for the templates as well as our boat paints https://www.dropbox.com/home/HydroSim Paints Schemes
I've heard Fanatec has a bit of a "reliability" issue right now, but their customer service is good.
