Steering wheel travel question

[Deleted User]

My steering wheel does not seem to turn as fully to port and starboard as it used to. Not my much, but it is noticeable, maybe quarter turn less each direction. Anyone know how many turns, full left lock to full right lock, is normal spec for an '06 250FV with a 2015 model VP DP-S drive?

OK, figured it out. As you were.

Curious what you found?

The old steering cable was stretched and binding. 15 years old, original from new. Now I have a new one I realized that in the ten years I've owned the boat the steering has always been stiffer than it should have been making docking a bit of a chore. Andy
