I put it back on last week, fired if up in the driveway with the muffs, forward/reverse, everything was smooth... Until it started getting hot. Turns out the pipe that carries water...

    Steering Less Than Smooth

    '90 Four Winns 200 Horizon. I e noticed when I steer the boat it's not exactly smooth when I turn. As I turn it seems to be smooth, rough, smooth, rough etc. It does it's job but feels like it's catching and it's 100% sequential from hard left to hard right.

    Bad bellows or leaky gasket?

    So we swapped outdrives last week due to a seized bearing and took it for a spin. Probably about 45 min run time and 1.5hrs sitting out on the lake conversing. Popped the outdrive off today to swap the lower unit due to a crack discovered in the case. When I seperate the outdrive from the...

Needless to say, during the...
