Hello Shane...Thank you for selecting the undersigned to reply to your question.

While I'm not a mechanical technician, it sounds like the steering mechanism is binding due to a malfunction or simple wear & tear. Best you consult a qualified & reliable marine mechanic to determine the exact problem and rectify it. In the long run, he'll likely cost you less time and money.
