Steering guestion

[dko]

My son has a seaark stick steer,when going at slow speed the boat turns easy when running fast it is hard to turn to the left but easy to turn to the right. What could be causing this? Thanks for any ideas.

Not sure cause it's usually harder to turn at low speeds. Only thing I might try is that small round piece with the fin on it underneath where you would mount a hydro stabilizer....that thing controls which direction the boat steers. If when you let go of the direction lever it starts to pull one way or the other adjust that find, it's only one screw to loosen and move the fin then re-tighten, might be able to raise the motor high enough while on the water to adjust it even. Surely some of our boat guys like Big River could be of more help than me though....I sometimes think I know just enough to make me dangerous.

The motor may be off center a little at the trasom, I had the same problem and with that adjustment and the fin mentoned above it works lots better. Good luck and good fishing

Boat does not pull while running so I didnt think it would be the fin tab, but dont really have any ideas.

I also have a Seaark with SS. and 40HP. Motor has to be in proper trim for best steering to overcome prop torque. Slow or fast..... just trim up/down until balanced.
