I have a 1985 Chris Craft Scorpion 210 bow rider with a 305 GM 5.0 liter. Problem i'm having is when I go into a turn at half to full throttle I can't come out of it unless I slow down.

Inspect your PS belt and tighten if loose. Might be slipping.

Re: 85 Chris Craft steering issue

The PS belt was a little loose last season so I tighten it. It was time to get it replaced. It seemed to be dry rotting. I just replaced it but hav not taken her out this season. I will see if that cures the problem. Otherwise, does anyone know if a asisting steering module is standard on this boat. Thx for your help.
