I thought with all the steering system threads that have been popping up lately I'd start my own 
I have a 1980 17ft Imperial Tri-Hull with an 85 horse outboard. I replaced the steering system last year with a new Teleflex as the old cable was so stiff it took 2 hands to move the wheel. This new system is silky smooth now! The only issus I have is if I put it in gear and start moving, the wheel will whip all the way to the right and the boat will go into a tight spiral. I have to keep pressure to the left on the wheel at all times when running. I have tried to adjust the exhaust port/trim tab to componsate, but it made no difference. If I have a full tank (portable 6 gallon tank stuffed under the splashwell, on one side, battery on the other) and can shift 1-2 people on the left side, it will balance itself out better. Engine appears to be centered, but I have not run a tape over it to verify (although due to the mounting system there is only one position it can mount). Anyone run into a similar issue?
