Hi
Since I've had it my early 80's Invader ski boat with a early 80's Mariner 150 outboard will veer off to the right if you let go of the wheel. To turn left is stiff and requires a bit of muscle. Any ideas what is going on? Hate to show my ignorance but ... Is this steering a hydraulic system? - If it is hydraulic how come I can move the both the wheel and the motor with ease with no power? If it is hydraulic maybe it just needs more fluid? - where would I find a fill hole? - nothing on the steering wheel as I have seen in others - something at the motor?
Thanks much for all your help. Having an old girl like this makes me very grateful for such a great and helpful site as this.
