I have got a 1991 Seaswirl Tempo with a 4.3 OMC Cobra outdrive. I don't know what causes it but sometimes the steering wheeel rocks back and forth on it own. I don't know if I should have posted this in the seaswirl section or here. Just let me know if it should be in the seaswirl section. After sitting for a long time a couple of weeks the outdrive does sink some. I don't know if that would have anything to do with it.

Re: Steering Question

I'm not sure just what causes this, but it is sort of a common problem with Cobra and Volvo drives if you crank the engine with the drive tilted to high.

Re: Steering Question

Thought I would give this a bump. It doesn't seem to matter if I have the drive up or down. I have only noticed it when it's down.
