Steering radius Yamaha 150HP outboard

[fzr2010]

Turning radius on my Veranda 2275RC Tri-toon seems very limited. Motor turned left or right to "lock" only moves it 15-20 degrees off dead center. Hard to maneuver in tight spaces. Normal or set up wrong at Dealership? Thanks!

Definitely set up wrong unless toons are that much different than normal boats.

How many turns does the steering wheel have lock to lock?

 

[fzr2010]

Steering lock to lock 4.5- 5 full 360's.

every boat handles different and pontoons are very very slow to respond at idle speeds, due to the width and length and because of that it takes a good bit of skill and experience in tight places, its a balance of throttle and steering and response timing

Some photos of the motor at full lock in both directions would help. Also one of the tilt tube and steering link.

Also what MH said. Maybe it's just a matter of learning how the boat handles in different situations. Is she a new or new to you boat?

Especially in windy conditions. My pals toon handles like cast Iron bath tub in water.
