MORNIN ALL, FINALLY GOT MY NEW BOAT IN THE WATER, MY OLDEST SON CAME OVER FROM JACKSONVILLE AND WE DID NOT MAKE IT DOWN TO THE GULF, WE DID MAKE IT OVER TO IAMONIA AND LAUNCHED THE NEW BOAT. SHE RAN GREAT AND HANDLED PRETTY GOOD, I HAD ONE PROBLEM. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN TO THE RIGHT IT WAS HARD TURNING, REALLY HAD TO TURN THE STEERING A LOT HARDER THAN ANY BOAT I HAVE EVER HAD. THE ENGINE IS ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE TRANSOM AND TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME THE FOOT IS A LITTLE TOO FAR BACK FROM THE BOAT' WITH THE TRIM ALL THE WAY DOWN, TRIED CHANGING THE TRIM BUT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE, GOT ANY IDEA'S PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

mornin Pa and all ,i did not get to fish today got to go home

Mornin PA, folks Does it turn hard when not under power PA?

[FUTCHCAIRO]

HEY EVANS, IT DOES NOT BIND WHEN NOT UNDER POWER, I LATER WENT OUT AND FIND THAT THE SKI LADDER WAS DOWN, I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY REASON FOR THE HARD STEERING. I WILL TAKE IT BACK OVER TO IAMONIA TOMORROW, MAKING SURE THE SKI LADDER IS UP AND LOCKED IN PLACE, THIS IS PROBABLY THE CULPRUT I WILL KNOW FOR SURE TOMORROW. THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS,

Does the steering "pull" to one side when you let loose of the steering wheel? If so, it may be the anode on the foot is turned wrong
