Bravo 1 Steering Wheel Alignment??

[davis777]

Hey Guys,
I have a 496 Mag with a Bravo 1 drive and Teleflex Rack steering.
I have a hard time keeping my nice steering wheel aligned at the helm/dash.
I will be on plane and slow down to a stop, pop off the steering wheel and re align it and bolt it back on and I am good to go.
When leave the boat at the dock overnight or put it on the trailer, the next time i go boating the wheel is in the opposite direction when on plane.
Any suggestions,
R-

I dont see how this is possible with cable steering unless something is terribly wrong!!! Full hydraulic will do that when it is not completely bled properly. If it is a rack cable I would seriously look at everything in the helm to be sure it is tight. Also, check the large nut at the end of the cable housing at the transom. It secures the cable to the steering tube on the transom assy. If it is loose you will be able to grab the cable and move it back and forth. This will cause your problem. The cable should not move back there. I am talking about the cable housing, grab it just before the nut and try to move it. Attempt to tighten the nut even if the cable cant be moved.

I have had that happen with a hydraulic, but never with a cable.
