Hello folks,
New to the forum here.
We just bought a 1998 Sunbird 170 Volvo Pento 3.0 and put it in water for the first time yesterday.
The steering control was horrible. Boat wont go straight. I played with trim, took the biking cover off in case that was dragging boat, it was not windy at all. We were in a canal.
Steering in the middle, boat goes to right. Correct the direction (slowly) and it goes hard left even with small correction.
Steering felt smooth while operating but when doing a U turn (taking it to extreme left) and then trying to make it straight, it needed some effort.
Cable issue?
Lower unit issue?
Thank you in advance for thoughts, comments and/or suggestions.
