I have a 1985 Bayliner Capri 4 cylinder Volvo Penta with a 270 outdrive.
When you turn to the left it oes so quickly it will about break your fingers.
To turn it back to the right it is like turning a truck with no power steering!
I have been told the only way to fix this is to put powering steering on it.
I have checked everything from the steering wheel back to the motor and have found nothing wrong.
I have also adjusted the anode on the ouydrive but this did very little to help the problem!
Sure would like some feedback on this problem!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, adjusting that little dude has helped, but it is still not working as well as it should.
I think power steering might be the way to go.
Thanks for the input.
