when i'm sitting still the steering is very easy.when i'm under power at cruise steering is hard to left&harder to right.steering helm,cable,tube are all new.what do i need to do?
Yes, bring it up to one hole higher than level that should help a lot. Technically the plate should be above the water line when the boat is on the plane. Every boat is different but thats where you should start. Also trim can have a big effect on the weight of your steering.Originally posted by red cobia 17':<br /> my cavitation plate is about 1 to 1.5 inches bolow the bottom of the boat .do i need to raise my motor?
