Has it always been hard to steer or is this a new problem? I'm not an expert on this, but my old boat was a 3.0 I/O and had hydraulic assist and it still didn't steer real easy. When I bought it used from Blue Creek I was told by Justin that they ordered all their boats with the optional hydraulic assist because they were very hard to steer without it.....I had asked the question because some of the boats I tested were hard to maneuver and it seemed like I was driving a battle ship.

When I purchased a new boat last fall, I discovered there are even different levels of hydraulic assist and it took the more advanced (and expensive) systems to get "car like" power steering.
