[QUOTE="Paulio91184, post: 476816, member: 26161"] Hi all. I just got a new (to me) 16ft Starcraft Seafarer 16 with a 25 Mercury tiller outboard on it and took it out for a shakedown run and the motor pulls very hard right. Allow me to explain. I was steering with my left arm and the tiller pulls hard to port making the boat steer starboard. It happens at all speeds and its bad enough that if I let the tiller go on plane I'm sure I'd be ejected from the boat! Theres pretty much 0 tension on the pivot tube and the red lever to lock it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to tighten it up. My left arm is gonna be twice the size as my right arm if I keep using it like this 🤣🤣 Model # 0T186033 [/QUOTE]
