I have a 2000 sugar sand tango 175hp. When going full speed it will start to pull hard to the left then end up spinning out. I will turn the steering all the way to the right and full throttle the boat and nothing stops it from doing a spin out to the left. I’m not sure if this is a steering cable problem or even something like a trim problem. Anything helps thanks
 
That boat uses a v6 mercury outboard power head with a jet pump and a big reverse hood if it is pulling to one side you may have some drag under the hull or the huge reverse bucket is deflecting some of the thrust sideways creating a side reverse thrust so be sure the bucket is not interfering with the forward thrust exiting the nozzle or you may have one of those trim tabs on it that create drag you just need to check everything out.
