i just bought a 98 29 ' scarab twin 350's it seems to be a great boat with the exception of its very touchy steering. has anyone else noticed this problem????

High speed or low speed?
Movement in the wheel?
Tough or hard to turn the wheel?

i think i just needed a little more time behind the wheel, the boat is very trim sensitive and steers alot quicker than my old boat (88 scarab excel)

jefro,

I don't seem to have that problem with my 29.

Mine has a single 502. I don't know if it makes a difference. I also have installed a full twin ram IMCO hydraulic steering on mine.

I can't remember if I had that problem with my stock system.

I can tell you one thing. The IMCO is unbeleivable!!!
