i agree - motor mounted too low
i used to have a maycraft 19 cc with a 4 stroke that came with straight cable steering (not a NFB). If the engine was all the way down when you took off you could FEEL the torque of the engine and if you let go of the wheel the boat would turn almost instantly. While running, if you trimmed the engine until the cav plate came out of the water, you could feel that torque just release from the steering wheel.
Moved engine up, 100% better..........added in a NFB helm and problem completely gone.
If you have a teleflex cable steering, you can actually just get the NFB helm and swap them easily. The old cable will go right back into the new helm.
