Steering question, 22ft Seastar Caribbean

[Capt Redbeard]

Hi<br /><br />I have a 1977 22ft Seastar Caribbean with a 260 hp Mercruiser I/O. When I throttle down, I have to hang on to the steering wheel or it will turn hard left on me. It doesn't at slower speeds. It doesn't have power steering. I am just starting out in boating, so any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, I just found out how to adjust the trim tab, I just need to take it out and see how it steers now and try adjusting again, thanks,<br /><br />Hey Greatlakes Guy,<br />At least my boat moves (w/o tow rope) ha
