I have a '99 180 bow rider with the 3.0 merc/alpha 1. The boat steers fine when not under load, such as when you are not in the throttle much at all. When I lay into the throttle to get speed, the steering wheel wants to pull hard to the left from the torque, but after the boat planes out the steering is just difficult to turn, and doesnt pull one way or the other. In order to turn easily, I have to let off the throttle for a second then get back in while turning during the short time the throttle is down.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I have not replaced the steering cable and believe it to the be original, but that doesnt sound like the problem.
