jackhammer, if you have two cables like most bass boats with 150s or bigger one of the cables could be broke and you could be one cable, and if that is the case if you are on plain and that one breaks it could be bad, let us know how it turns out

I think that if he has good steering and response when he is trimmed out properly, the problems he is having is just the tork from the prop when trimmed down and that's pretty much normal. I would agree if its hard to steer in any trim position he probably has a more serious problem.
