Hi All!
First I read many posts and searched pretty deeply before asking this steering cable question.
I replaced my steering cables two seasons ago. And since it seems my steering is rather limited. I am seeing one and one quarter (1&1/4) turns from lock to lock on my steering wheel. So from straight to lock is only three quarters (3/4) turn on the steering wheel in either direction. I didn't use my boat last year so I can’t remember what normal is; but that seems like very narrow range.
What would cause this?
How many turns from lock to lock is normal?
I don’t see any steering range guidance in the maintenance manual.
Background:
When centered the nozzles are matched and centered. When I did the reinstall, I set the adjusters to the same number of turns onto the cables. Originally that was 14 turns in.
Pictures top full right, bottom full left. Does this look like full steering range?
