454 Mercruiser w/Bravo III Drives
I have a 2000 340 SUndancer. Twin 7.4 Bravo III Mercs

Is there a power assisted steering unit on the 340 Sundancer? My srteering is hard to turn and I am wondering if it's a "lubrication" issue??? Or if the MerCruisers have a power steering pump? ,

Is there an easy way to determine if the power steeering pump is bad? OR, does the steering cable need lubrication? Or is there something else I should be looking at?

Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions about what to look for and/or check to detgermine the root cause is appreciated.

Do you have a power steering pump/pumps?
 
Yes, I have power steering pumps.

I'm thinking the steering cable is in need of lubrication or the pumps are not working....

Any suggestions?
 
I don't know if the cables are really able to be lubricated. I put in a new cable when my steering became difficult. Made all the difference.
