It's pretty much a brand new boat, only 75 hours and was serviced 20 hours ago. It will turn right but when I turn the wheel left it just spins freely, the engine doesn't move, wtf is wrong? I hate boats right now

We screwed.

Boat still on the lift luckily. But we can't find the problem and yamaha customer service isn't open... Or at least the number we tried.

I really don't know anything about "power" steering, is that hydraulic? If so, if the turning movement is controlled by two instead of one piston you might have leaked fluid in left one.
Good luck.

I meant Hydraulic, putting power in a rage post, It turned fine to the right but the left is just a free spin of the wheel

Start looking for a leak. Rule that Out first. Keep turning the wheel back and forth to see where it might be coming out.

It can't be a sealed console, huh? It's usually a beyotch, but a small person can usually squeeze into the area.
If it's a seal, you're screwed, if it's a fitting, tighten it. If you can't get to it, put fluid into it, if it works then buy a lot and bring rags.
Bring your cellphone with you too.

Get somebody to snake their arse down there and find if it's a fitting or a busted line or whatever. You should be able to find where it's leaking.

I'd call first, Terrebonne Marine was closed yesterday. Mostly Catholics down there so they might have taken a 3 day holiday.

Yep, good chance they closed. Any parts store should have an oring to fit it. Even auto zone.

I was thinking you were down by the Tradewinds or whatever, you're in Bay St. Louis?
