    stiff steering question.

    I just went from hydraulic steering on my old boat to 2-cable teleflex nfb on a single 150 opti. on 2005 20ft trophy 2002, 50 or so hours of service. Seems like alot of effort needed, especially when close to or coming back from full over in either direction. What say you??
