Was out riding yesterday and all of sudden I was unable to turn to the right. I could go left or straight. Got back home and can't see anything stuck. I do have thrust vectors installed but they don't appear to be hitting anything. Granted I can't get a full view since I was looking at it with the boat in the water. Would as broken cable do this? I've been boatong 40yrs and never had a steering cable break.

Thanks
 
does the steering wheel turn to the right ?

is the wheel turning but the boat isn't reacting ?

when you turn the wheel is the jet nozzle turning ?

Thanks for the replies. The cable is pulling because nozzle will go hard left and I can then straighten it out . It just won't go right. What is strange is the wheel turns it's normal range. The wheel turns like it did before this happened.It turns about 3/4 of a turn to left from center with response from nozzle to hard left and 3/4 to right from center but nozzle stops at midline.
