i have a 90 hp mercury that i very hard to steer. the skeg is slightly bent. i have moved the trim tab all the way over to compensate. needless to say, it turns great one way but is very hard the other(really rough on old shoulders). is there any way to safely straighten the skeg??
can power steering be added to an outboard? the motor is on a nice 20ft deckboat that i love except for the hard turning.
