Dumb steering question
All,
We recently purchased a 2002 340 Sundancer with 8.1S v-drives. My old boat was a 240 Sundancer with an I/O. My old boat was really easy to steer (power steering)--about the same as a car with power steering. The new boat with v-drives has the hydraulic steering option but it's pretty hard to turn the wheel at speed. I'm a fairly strong guy and sometimes I need to use two hands to steer the boat. My question is: is this normal or do I have a steering problem? I'm sorry for the dumb question but I don't really have a good basis for comparison as this is my first v-drive boat.
