My '95 was hard to turn at slow speed, was great as it went faster.Did a sea trial on the 1995 300DA yesterday that went mostly well, the only thing I found "bad" was that the steering as VERY tight. This particular vessel has V-drive inboards. The mechanic that did the compression test said the boat didn't have power steering. Could this be the case in a 1995 model year? His suggestion was to grease the shafts. Anybody have any thoughts? Aside from that, the trial and survey went well, and I'll likely be the proud owner soon.
