Hello to everyone at iboats. I am new to the forum and new to the sport of boating.<br /><br />I recently purchased a 87 sunbird eurosport with a merc 3.7L 165hp motor. I purchased the boat for 2G and I think the boat is in good condition but needs a little TLC. I know of one issue with the boat and that is the hard steering at high speeds.<br /><br />I am inclined to fix the problem my self but I am not sure if this task is possible. I spoke the mechanic at the marina where the boat the is currently stored. He thinks the cable the runs between the engine and the steering wheel needs to be replaced. What do other people think the problem is?<br /><br />As for more detail on the problem, all I know is that the boat steers easy at low speeds but when you are at higher speeds you really have to muscle the wheel around.<br /><br />Thanks in Advance,<br />Shawn
