steering seems stiff
 
I have a 98 baja boss 302. (New to me)
the steering is a little stiff, all of the reservoir's are full for power steering.could it the the actuator?
All of my other boats steered smoothly. there is no play in the out drives they seem nice and tight.

If it has a external tie bar, take it off and check the joints. I had a rod end freeze up on me once and it made the steering really hard.
