I have a 1978 Steury boat with a 165 hp inline six cyl Mercrusier. Problem is the steering. it pulls to the left hard no matter how I adjust the little fin on the bottom of the out drive. And from a stop...

The propellor can cause transverse thrust and the heavier the prop the greater the sideways pull. There are other factors like blade width and trailing edge cup. Is this the right prop for your boat? Some legs have a tension adjustment on them, and try that little fin again the other way,just one more time. Cheers Timo.

Stihl backpack blower starter rope is pulling harder and harder. When it dose pull it starts right up.

See if your rope pulley is opening up and allowing rope to double over on itself.When this happens the rope will wedge in pulley causing it to pull hard.

Can Intex mariner 4 carrie an engine Yamaha 8 HP with a modificated mount if the engine have 60 pounds?

no. my 28 lb 3.5 tohatsu strains the pvc material that the tubes are made out of pretty well. the weight and thrust of the motor pulls pretty hard on these tiny little rubber "feet" glued to the tubes. I usually dont even run full throttle as it looks like i will pull the motor mount feet right off the tube. I couldn't imagine a bigger, heavier motor than what i am running working out well in the long run.
i have the intex mariner 4, btw.

What role does the trim tab on an outboard play as far as handling and hard steering, and how do you adjust it?

If you are talking about the small tab under the cav. plate.Its job is to counteract the effect that the prop has on steering.Because the props. spin in one direction,they create a sideways pull on the motor due to the prop biting into the water and trying to pull all with it.2 motors on the 1 boat often have a different gearbox fitted,and one will spin in the opposite direction and this counteracts torque steer.To adjust yours,work out where you drive the boat most.Speed etc.Higher speeds have more effect.If it pulls right,adjust it left.One bit at a time.I think yours will have an allen key or hex screw above the tab.Loosen it,move the tab.Takes only minutes.I hope this helps

Boat seat will not release to go to lower position. Atwood power pedestal boat seat.

is it stainless-not familiar with brand-but may well be corroded-try spraying with crc or similar-may take a few doses if corroding in shaft-get rough if needed-remove if possible so you can spray from both directions
