that system not designed for what you have, more for inboards or some lower HP outboards, you need a system run by a engine run P/S pump, Char-lynn helm, you may be able to use your rams, not sure, hardin, mayfair and others make the correct parts...

Mine has a flat anode, never seen a bravo with the skeg anode on it.
I got the boat out of storage today en did some work on it.
The helm is a capilano 1275v and a single marine machine steering ram. I read that this helm is for twin ram or a single balanced ram.
Steering left is much easier than right could this have anything to do with the balancing part?

Google anode trim tab, not truly the answer but they lessen the torque steer you're seeing now with a larger pitch prop.

Well think i solved the problem today,
While i was working on the steering ram and drive i noticed some play on the outdrive.
With a closer look i saw that the lower steering pinion was gone!
I replaced it with a used one from another transom i still had.
Took the boat out today with a enertia 21 and the steering feel was back the way it used to be with the 17p.
