I have full hydrolic stering and find it hard to turn right when running. It turns easy to the left. It seems a little loose feeling when I turn right. Easy to turn when it is going slow. This is a single ram on a 22 Donzi. Do you think my lines are crossed?

I doubt your lines are crossed. Is the system new on the boat or has it changed the way it feels?

It's new a year ago and hasn't changed.

Latham makes great stuff. I don't know why it would be as you described. Is the steering tight when at rest? Can you wiggle it by hand at the drive?

New like brand new boat? If it doesn't seem right to you I would bring it to the dealer. Or call Latham and see what they suggest.

Ijust emailed Latham. Brand new a year ago, but it has been the same. It doesn't wiggle at the drive. I can turn it with the motor off easily. (@ the wheel)
