Leaving the dock at idle speed with my motor stright ahead the boat runs to the left. Had to turn the wheel to the right a little. 20X 225 Etec ho sea star stearing. Is there something wrong.

Don't get mad about this question, but were you going by the steering wheel being straight, or were you 100% sure the motor was actually straight?
With hydraulic steering, your steering wheel will become off some one way to another, especially when the temps start to warm up a little bit. Meaning, you may be holding the steering wheel what you think is straight, but the motor may actually be kicked to one side or the other ever so slightly.
Make sense?

I've seen the same thing & had my wheel as much as half a turn off. Sooner or later it's straight again and eventually it gets out again...
