My 25' Cruiser with Mercruiser I/O Engine has a major steering problem that developed while under power. <br /><br />The steering wheel locks if it turns to the right. To be more exact, the wheel will lock if it is turned a quarter turn to the right. It locks just barely after it starts turning right. Turning to the left will eventually unlock it. <br /><br />It seems like a gear within the steering wheel assembly locks.<br /> <br />Also, another problem that may or may not be related is when the boat is under power the steering becomes extremely tight. We do have a 25 hp kicker connected to the motor via a tiebar. <br /><br />Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
