Different shaft rotational resistance
The marina mechanic said my starboard side cutlass bearing could use replacing. There isn't much movement in my opinion to warrant replacing yet, but in any case, that is the side that turns more easily, which doesn't make sense to me.
Could it be something in the port engine or transmission that is causing greater resistance?

Re: Different shaft rotational resistance
Given that I've not had the alignment checked since purchasing the boat four years ago, I will put it on the list for the marina to do this season once it has sat in the water.
