Had my new to me 90 sunsport out for the week at bullshoals lake in ARK on vaca.
Hard to turn to the right with any throttle and has vibration when turning either way , i just aligned the running gear with help of my machinist buddy due to the fact that the front right had fallen completly out of alignment down to bottom of mount. but still have some vibration is this normal???

Doesn't sound normal at all. Sounds like engine out of alignment. Check this message board for instructions on alignment. Did you say your buddy helped you align the engine? Running gear? Also could be rudder shaft is bent....Wait for more feedback...I'm not an expert.

My '90 Sunsport is also harder to turn to the right. I believe this is due to the offset rudder placement. My rudder is offset slightly to the left which means that the force of the water coming over the prop is working against the prop as you are trying to turn it to the right.
