Default Stiff steering on inboard ski boat

Has anyone else had this problem? I have an 88 Supra. The steering is
perfectly loose and easy to turn, right up until I engage the prop. As
soon as I turn the prop on the steering becomes very difficult. I have
inspected the cable all the way back to the rudder, can't see any
place it is binding. Is this normal? I am wondering if it is just the
rudder wanting to go straight while the prop is turning because of the
drag from the flowing water? Hoping someone can help me out here.
Thank you


Jim
