In power steering failures, we always start at the business end of the boat. (Engine/Transom) Steering cables and helms, offer many years of service when kept properly adjusted. There is a reason, your helm/cable is broken, and you had to replace it. If it were here, I would look directly above the Prop and locate the steering torque tab located directly above the propeller blades. It should have a slight shift (it is a tab design) either one direction or the other. If it is missing, or is just flat it has been knocked off, eaten away as a sacrificial (spell) anoid or was never installed properly. I can't explain prop rotation and prop torgue here but you can call me. You can call the dogs off of your power steering pump, they RARELY go bad. Ya have checked the fluid?????? I'll be in the shop all day tomarrow. If you'll get me just a little more info, we'll get her nice and easy to steer on the phone. By the way, a 3.0 as tons of torgue. You must control it.
P.S. Nite John Boy. ( :)
Respectfully,
