Uflex Steering Help

[catchersrock]

My boat came from the dealer rigged with Uflex Brand hydraulic steering. It was hard to turn from new and I figured I needed to work the air out of it and it would get better. It hasnt. It takes two hands to turn it trimmed down on plane. The dealers answer was to trim it up. Thats not always an option. I know lots of new boats with big 4 strokes come with power steering or power assisted steering, and, that was an option I didnt select. So, now Im looking at adding it. 

Any experience on adding the Seastar Power Assist to a Uflex system?

Thanks,

Mine does the same thing and my dealer said the same thing. God forbid the wife having to drive the boat if I get hurt.

Can you adjust the anode to get a more neutral steering at speed? There should be a way to adjust the resistance on the wheel. My seastar is one finger at idle, which meant I had to do a bit of adjustment so I had neutral control at cruise speed. How long since you picked it up? Maybe should bring back to who rigged the motor.  www.bing.com/videos/search?q=adjusting+zinc+diode+on+outboard+for+neutral+steering&docid=608050812136654281&mid=653D5B988D190362A679653D5B988D190362A679&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

Good point skeeter. Is it hard to turn while in neutral as well, or only when under way?
