I find this very hard to believe because it really takes work to steer this sucker and it's nothing like other hydraulic systems I have driven. I would like to get a second opinion on this as I just don't think it's quite right. Can anyone recommend a good Mercury dealer. I live in Deridder and would rather not drive further than Lafayette, but I will to get some good help. I am not opposed to going to Texas either. Let me know who you trust. Thanks.

I had problems with mine. The grease on the steering rod was old & even though I greased it regularly the old dried grease wouldn't allow the new grease to get to the steering rod. I now use never seize(nickle anti seize) on the steering rod. Haven't had a problem since.
