If you do a search on here there are threads on setting the toe on the drives & differences on prop rotation. best case scenario add hydraulic steering so there is no play. Randy

excuse my ignorance but what i meant is that i dont have those hydraulic rams on the side aiding steering ,but i do have a hydraulic steering system, with the power steering pump installed in the starboar engine.

That is hydraulic assist not true hydraulic steering, there are kits out there that use external rams & tie into the stock system. your play in the steering could be anywhere from the helm to the steering arms being wallowed out. make sure everything is tight. Have you tried turning the props inward?

i know this would make you gain more speed but would it help stabilized the boat and not make this sudden turns?
i tell you it was scary!!
