I'm guessing you don't have power steering, and if this is the case that's torque steer. It can be lessened with a anode installed "IF" you have clearance

It might be afraid of the water being a Bayliner and its trying to get back to dry land

A boat is something you pour money into, as they say. Next boat get one with two motors, then you will have two holes to pour money in. Ok it wasn't funny just a little boat humor :rolleyes:

That is funny right there.

On topic: The trim tab type anode either needs adjustment or you need on with a trim tab.
