My boat 17'9" Manta Ray with 3.0 Mercruiser I/O has been hard to steer from day one. The dealer never fixed it. Is there a way to retrofit power steering to a boat without spending big bucks? I mean this boat has gotten to be not fun to drive.

Re: Hard steering

Well,<br />Fixing the Problem, would be My 1st Choice.........<br />Tight radius in the Cable ????<br />Tight Gimbal Swivel Bearing ???????<br />If this is a New Boat, Go Back to your Dealer, Till he Gets It Right.......<br /><br />After that,<br />Yes, With a P/S pump,+ P/S controller,+ a P/S Cooler, you Could retro-fit a P/S System.......
