I've owned my 24' Crownline bowrider for 15 years, so I'm not new to driving a boat. It has a standard 6.2 l MerCruiser with a Bravo 3 drive (dual prop) with no trim tabs.. Everything is in great working order as confirmed by me and a very experienced marine mechanic who did its last tune up.
It runs like a dream going forward. It reverses straight back and to the right (starboard) just fine. The problem is it just reverses straight back when the wheel is turned to the left (port). I've tried different speeds and steering angles to no effect. I just moves straight back. The boat can be a real pain to dock in tight spaces if you need to back in to the left because of this. To the right - no probs.
What am I missing?
