"having trouble with power steering. 86 bayliner conquest 3250 with teleflex rack and pinion at helm, volvo penta power steering. (numbers on unit: 852741, P03, 1PA-HH. stamped 14004)
Problem: drives turn fully to the port, but only about 5 degrees starboard and at that point steering wheel is turned fully to the right. 2.5 turns total (end to end) on teleflex rack and pinion steering.
teleflex states that the steering cable should extend 8.5 inches. the ram on the volvo penta unit only extends 7inches, appears that if it extended 8.5 inches the drives would fully swing to the starboard. fluid levels, belts have been checked and are fine. not yet checked: load has not been removed to verify ram remains in place and not extend or contract automatically under no load. steering seems tight, no excessive play. in summary turning wheel completely left, drives turn fully left, ram is extended 2 inches. turning right, drives past center and move only about 5-10 degrees to the right and steering wheel hits its end, ram has extended 5 inches more, for 7 inches total.
