    My steering is the same way. I am assuming that becasue of the cavitation and torque of the water, that faster the boat goes, the more steering adjustments I have to make to counteract this force. I notice it mostly if I am running wide open and then pull it back to idle quickly (I try not to do this), then then boat will turn quite a bit as I slow.

But unlike Sled, I have not added or modified anything on the boat or trailer since taking delivery in April of 2007. My Outback: tower, 400 lb. ballast system, upgraded sound system (but no tower speakers), 3-tube heater, depth gauge, bimini top, boat buddy, upgraded color package, and dual axle trailer. It replaced a 1980 Ski Nautique. I ski. My boys mostly wakeboard (beginner to intermediate level). Am finishing the winterization and putting her away in the garage for the winter. - Deerfield

    Best advice is to plan your moves ahead of time and approach from the easy side when you can. If you have to steer while backing up you have to punch it into forward and over-adjust your line then back up again till you're off line. If you go out alone and practice it will make a big difference.
