That hard steering left is just a function of the rotation of the prop. If you still have your original steering cable thats normal. If you upgrade your steering to at least no-feedback helm or of you got the dollars for hydraulic it will help with that alot.

RWilson.. I actually do have hydraulic steering. Also, I noticed one afternoon out that it became noticeably easier when I correctly adjusted my trim upon coming on plane, which is why I am led to believe that it is actually user error on my part with incorrect trimming and also possibly the trim tab needing to be adjusted a bit. Still getting used to the boat, but so far it's a blast!

Sweet looking Rig!

When planing off have the engine trimmed down and then trim up some once on a plane. You'll learn to find the "sweet spot" where she runs the best and gets the best fuel mileage and best ride.

I have that on mine, I call it Armstrong power steering. Made by the same people who made my windlass.

Sweet CC, slick!!...that's a nice one for sure!!...to lighten up the steering(both directions), trim the motor up a little more...all of 'em I've ever had there is a certain trim level on the way UP that loosens the steering...I consider it properly trimmed when the wheel loosens up...then you'll wanna trim back down in turns and coming outta the hole...
