Recently purchased A 83 Voyager with a mercury 200 have a couple questions under power the boat tends to lean to the left and then as you trim it will straighten out also the boat has a hot foot and when I let off the throttle it wants to hook real hard to the left I was told these boats need to balance the weight out? Also is there a way to get around the steering cables old ride guide system without having to put a whole new rack in. Thanks for the help

1983 Hydrostream Voyager
Re: 1983 Hydrostream Voyager
surprised more knowledgable folks haven't responded to you. what you are experiencing is normal torque from the propeller. it will change with speed and trim angle. friend and i were playing around at about a 50 mph cruise and could steer the boat left or right with just trim adjustments. a tab on the skeg will help some, but you have to learn your boats characteristics and be ready to adjust steering and trim. choice of propellers will also affect steering torque.
Re: 1983 Hydrostream Voyager
when you drop throttle quickly, the steering torque reverses. i have voyager with 175, and years back buddy had same with 200 merc. don't really see need for hot foot on your boat, regulat throttle works fine. buddies would hit 77mph, no chine walking or bad habits
