Re: New 1995 Talari Owner
That should be a relatively easy fix. Remove the centre cap, remove the nut and the steering wheel, then centre & reinstall.
But i do recall reading this bit of helpful advice for this problem on another boating site:
My steering wheel was only 15 degrees or so out of sync.
I put several inches of shims under the right side of my captain's seat. That fixed the steering wheel problem.
Then, I noticed all the gauges were no longer centering in the vertical. Everything was running fine, so I determined the problem to be with the gauges themselves. I removed and replaced all the gauges with new ones. Since they were new, I was able to install them such that they centered to the vertical.
Then I noticed the boat listed to starboard. So I bought some trim tabs. I run the starboard trim tab a bit higher than the port and everything was great.
Then I noticed the other boats on the lake kept turning into me. No amount of complaining, horn blowing, etc would fix the other boaters, so I bought the lake and made it private. Now no one turns into me.
Then I noticed the lake wasn't quite straight...............
I think it was Andy b who tried this....
