Well let me :welcome: you to iboats, tegyhazi. Nice to have you join us...
I am not sure about your engine setup, but a lot of OBs have friction adjustments for the mid-section. It is usually a screw type adjustment that applies more or less pressure to the mid-section shim-like halves located in the mid sections to make it so if you are tiller steering it stays where you turn it. So check to see if there is a screw adjustment type screw, maybe even with a coil spring around it. If so that could be your problem being too tight. Worth a look see. JMHO! :noidea:
