I was wondering if anyone had a problem with steering? I have an inboard on my pontoon boat I believe it is a 4.3L. I just bought the boat, but I feel that it is extremely hard to steer for some reason, any thoughts on what could be wrong? I checked the power sterring fluid, belts etc, and they were fine.
[colour=red]Question-2:[/colour]When I go over wakes it seems as if the boat is either bogged down, or coming out of the water totally, this only happens at low speeds, I can do around 37MPH in the boat and it is fine (on smooth water). Do I need one of those fin looking things attached above my porp (I guess you can tell by my lingo that I have no clue what I am talking about)? "For my steering, do I need a new cable grease,or something else etc"? The steering is my main concern right now. :^

with a 13 year old boat the steering cable probably never been lubed , probably best to replace.

that is the nature of the poontoon, the hulls don't cut the waves like a V hull. they just plow thru them.
