I've got a 93 Wellcraft 4.3L with Volvo Penta SternDrive. I was driving WOT for a couple of minutes to check out some new lesser pitched props. Then I lost power steering and it just wanted to keep pulling hard left. It took serious strength to turn the opposite direction. With engine off it turns just fine. Fluids fine. I'm figuring the pump couldn't take the 4800 RPMs it hadn't seen for a while. Any advice/ help would be appreciated.
