For some reason last weekend the steering on the boat was very hard during turns with engine power. Never noticed this before and am wondering if there is a simple fix. Seems ok at high and low speeds but when I turn to recover a skier that has fallen it is very difficult to return the wheel to straight after making the turn. Am at around 2500 rpm in the turn and when I try to get back straight it is very heavy to turn. The boat is a Chris Craft Sundeck 262 with a Volvo I/O.
