Is there such a factor to consider in setting up the steering arms between outdrives for best steering?

I have 800 OMC Stringer outdrives; no don't dismiss that!
The straight ahead steering is very jittery - overcorrects a lot.

Now as a car mech I appreciate toe in will cause this and toe out would create a more vague steering.

Maybe I havn't read the manual properly yet. Might setting the props to point inwards or outwards slightly cause this?
