Hi All,
Another weekend, another issue with the new boat. Ha.
After waiting three weeks to get back onto the water while the dealer fixed my last issue (blown power steering gasket), we spent the whole day on the boat yesterday.
Everything went fine - boat ran perfectly. I noticed a few times when backing up in order to anchor that while the boat was idle or going VERY slowly in reverse, turning the wheel clockwise caused what felt like a wobbling in both the steering wheel and the engine. I wish I could better describe it - it shook, I guess is better. Any only in reverse.
It happened once or twice, then all seemed fine. I backed into the slip with no issues whatsoever. Any ideas?
