Thread: Hi all new to the site and jet boats

    Like it says new to jet boats but not new to boating. I just bought a 75 challenger, 16' long with a 455 olds, dual 750 holleys on a offy tunnel ram, roller cam and roller rockers, bla bla bla.
    I took it out for the first time today and it seems to run very well. The only real comlaint is the steering, it seems overly tight, it takes some effort to turn the wheel. I dont think this is normal so were do I begin to look. The boat has NEW CABLES and a new rack and pinion on it, are there any adjustments to be made?
    Thanks in advance Billet

    Welcome to the site!
    Got any pictures of your boat? Trust me everyone wants to see them.
    What kind of condition is the steering cable in? Is it cracked or exposed?

    The boat isnt quite pic worthy yet, the guy I got it from didnt pay much attention to detail so I'm pretty busy fixin all the little things. The cables are new and the rack and pinion is new

    does the steering cable have too tight a bend to it? try to straighten it out.
    When it comes out of the transom, does it go out straight to the tiller arm or is there an angle? it should be as straight as possible.
    just a couple of things to check.
