I had a similar issue last season coming out of the winter. Was just binding. I thought I needed a new steering cable. I ended up pulling the cable from the steering box under the helm cleaned the gunk off it. Added some new grease and she turned better than ever.

Have the same issue with mine. Seems better with warmer temps but everything i've read leads to disconnecting the cable from the back hookup (not sure term) and test. I will try the helm first and go from there due to the easier access.
