Working on a friends boat we noticed that his steering is not centered. What I mean by that is that it will allow 4 1/2" of throw on the steering rod to the right with more than 2 turns of wheel. But will only allow 1 1/2" of throw to the left about 1 turn of wheel. Total throw of the steering rod is about 6 1/4".
When disconnected the motor is totally free and movement exceeds steering rod movement in either direction. The steering cable is reasonably free when turning the steering wheel, with or without the motor connected.
Does this total throw sound right? and any ideas on how to adjust the steering to have the motor centered on the steering throw?
