I am having low speed steering issues, it turns starboard side easily but take awhile to turn port side. Sometimes I will have to turn full starboard then back to port to get it to start turning. Only happen in no wake speeds.

Any suggestions?
 
I know exactly what you mean about the slow speed steering. The marina that I use has a pretty narrow canal from the launch to the break wall. I just give a little more throttle to compensate for the response I am looking for.
 
have you had anyone looking at the bucket while you turn the wheel to help diagnose it? it just seems really strange that you would have to go full starboard and then back to port to get it moving, that makes it sound like the steering wheel is turning but maybe the cable is slipping?
 
I have a very effective and simple steering system for those nozzles if you want more control at all speeds.
