After reading the hard steering thread below mine i may have not lined up the flat part of the steering tube when installing the cable. I hope this is all that is wrong.
Hi Chris. It does it under power my outdrive does not have a fin on the anode. It never did this until i changed the cable is there some type of adjustment on the ram assembly?
Greetings from Las Vegas. I replaced my steering cable on my Mariah 180 BR and now the boat turns to the left on its own. The wheel turns much easier now but this new problem is annoying. Fluid is good but it wont stay centered?

After a 40 mile trip today i pulled the engine cover to look things over and noticed oil on top of the fuel pump so i looked all around and everything appeared dry so after some head scratching as there is nothing above the fuel pump i started feeling around and then found a significant amount...
