my post seems harder to turn at high RPMS? or am I nuts????

Splashed my 1980 post it has 671 ti. noticed right before it went back into the water that the gauge for the Sea Star read 19 almost 20psi. So I brought it up to about 25psi. splashed the boat took it into the river to see if she would spin up. had the RPMS at around 2150. In Shark River where I keep the boat we have a sharp turn in the back of the river. As I came around the turn thats when I noticed I really had to pull on the wheel to make the turn almost ran out of the channel. Ive also never tried a hard turn at that high of rpms. came back to the dock and found a paper with a few notes on it. I wrote that in November when I pulled the boat I had about 19psi in the steering. I rarely ever try to turn so sharp with the boat when im powering along with it. it will turn to avoid hitting anything, as if someone on a jet ski ran across my path, but it wont corner. My question is does anyone else have a hard time steering it into a hard turn when running fast or im I just nuts in thinking a 42ft boat can turn that esay on full plan. I've not had this boat very long, also never had a boat with as much torque. use to have a 34ft Silverton that had gas motors.

The wheel was just physically hard to turn it. the trim had the bow running up. I also run it bow up most of the time. sitting in the slip it will turn back and fourth no problem and at lower rpms it will turn no problem. I;m wondering if im making more out of this then it is. Either its fine and the steering is operating fine or maybe I need to bleed the system? thats why i'm wondering if anyone else has ever tried making hard turns on plane.

That's what I was scared of. P46-curaçao! Had a feeling I wasn't going nuts

As far as I could see on land they looked normal. When I had the survey done it was done by a guy who owns a post so they passed that part. Went to the boat today and played with the wheel everything is operating as it should. Wondering if I should bleed the lines? I Am going to try and figure out how to post pictures. So everyone can see. I'm bad with computers. still trying to figure out how to fix my profile photo.

Was hoping it would be as esay as just bleeding the lines but with boats that's never the case, there is something going on down there under that deck. I'm going to take it for another test drive either tomorrow or Saturday and have someone drive it as I stick my head down there to see what's going on. Really would hate to have to pull her out to figure this out. But we'll see.

unless they are off by a hair? or something big hit them floating by while it was in the slip? Its docked in a place that has a very fast currant. cause on land they are straight. under the decks everything seems to be in fine working order. the post for the rudders are clean and the push arms are fine also. in the slip it turns left and right no problems. Its driving me nuts. Im hoping this weekend to have some time out on the water were I can have a few diffrant eyes on it so I can come up with a hopeful solution on whats going on.

I wish I could post a photo of it from my phone. I'm down at the boat now. Rainy and soaking wet. But I'm drafting a few folks in the morning into service on my rudder test drive

Ok so took about 4 people out on the boat today. At first it seemed as if the problem was there at again at 2150 Rpms. Today everything functioned as it should have Something could have been stuck on the rudder and then freed its self. Cause when it started to respond normally someone thought they saw something come out from under the boat. looked almost like a big black garbage bag. Well see on the next trip.

Onto the next problem. Left the boat came back After some lunch and the whole head bed room and part of the galley are flooded with water! Tought to myself well here we go but thank the gods of boating, That was just a old hose to the head that was dryed out and cracked! 16.00 dollar hose and about 50 worth of paper towel latee alls well. But the rest of the day will be devoted to now drying out the boat. (I think I'll go home tonight) enought fun on the water for me!
