I have a '93 240BR with a 7.4L/Bravo One drive. The boat is new to us and only has ~80 original hours. Our second outing was this weekend and I came away quite frustrated with the steering feel of the boat - there is no "on center" feel like our previous Volvo-powered boats and the handling/steering is vague at low and high speeds. The whole rig feels very over boosted; I can turn the wheel with my pinky at speed with ease.
As this is my first Mercruiser Bravo driven boat, I don't have much of a frame of reference for what it should feel like. All I know is that what I experienced isn't right.
Other symptoms include a sooty transom and a significant amount of exhaust "churning" at the water line. I'm guessing that these are related.
Where do I start? Do I have a drive problem, exhaust problem or steering problem, or is a combination thereof? Any direction here would help.
Cheers,
Brad
