Went out to the Hotdog yesterday and boat ran great the whole way. Getting close to the beach, I noticed that the steering was getting harder to turn. The boat has two 225 OX 66 Yamahas. I am assuming that the problem could be one of the motors is slightly seizing up vs an hydraulic problem. My experience with the hydraulic steering is that it either works for it doesn't. I have already had to refill the reservoir this year due to a connection leaking near the batteries. Anyone have this experience and what caused it? Thanks for your responses.
