Outside & above the drive. They are 9/16 socket size. You'll find them at the very top of the transom housing at it's most thin point nearest the top. They will be directly below the rectangular "mercruiser" decal.
They are nuts that hold a "U" bolt to the steering pin. Torque them "Oilfield tight". That's really, really tight with a 3/8 drive ratchet.

Definately a steering issue. I'd also recomend getting hydraulic steering running that kind of HP. Good luck with it and I hope you have as much fun as I've had with my 240 sport.
