New '23 Scarab. Dealer replaced the steering cable with 1 hour on clock. Said it was rusted and needed to be replaced before going back out on the water. So I didn't really have much time behind the wheel but the steering wheel seems "notchy" when turning at certain points, almost like the cable is binding. This normally occurs after reversing direction when the wheel is turned to either side about 30 degrees. Seems to only happen when trying to go back in the other direction after turn. I'm wondering if the dealer somehow was supposed to lube the cable and possibly forgot? Other than that I wouldn't think this would be normal operation. Dealer is also 2 hour round trip so not crazy about taking the boat back and having to wait for them to diagnose and/or fix the issue if there is one.
Any suggestions or is this just possibly the way the steering behaves on the 165?
