Boat won’t turn to Starboard when in reverse
Hi all, I recently bought a 2003 Key West 1900 Sportsman with a 115 Yamaha. I have been boating almost my whole life (25 years with a Boston whaler montauk). I for the life of me can’t figure out why when in reverse I can’t get the boat to turn towards starboard, it just dog tracks towards port. This is an issue when trying to back out of tight docking areas. So far no incidents yet, but I end up cockeyed drifting way too close to other boats for comfort.
It looks like maybe the motor doesn’t turn as far on that side, we also have a ladder/platform step on the port side but this happens at low and high speeds so I’m not sure that’s a direct cause.
Am I just an incapable boater? This was never an issue with the whaler (I could fit that bad boy through some crazy tight situations without breaking a sweat.
