I have a 2006 hurricane deck boat with a yamaha 150 outboard. I bought the boat about 1 month ago and the steering feels much different than my previous boat. I'm not sure if there is a problem with it or not. While driving the boat (any speed) and turning right, the wheel has to turn about 3/4 of a revolution before the outboard moves. While turning left, the outboard moves immediately, but it is not smooth. It has a "ratchet" or jerking motion (minor, not severe). Does the steering need to be adjusted, or should I bleed the system?
