My 1991 force 9.9hp has giving me a lot of steering issues... Recently the motor has been detaching itself from the steering bracket on the lower part (refer to the pic below). The shaft that turns it stiffens up and is very difficult to move until it finally turns free after 5 min of turning it back and forth with a large screw driver. It has plenty of grease. any ideas?
Making a slight turn at full throttle and it coming loose and is not fun, pop completely off and the whole motor almost went in the water, running and in forward gear (luckily at slow speed)i was holding the whole motor with one arm on the tiller handle and push the kill switch on the tiller arm. hauled it into my boat and had my little 2hp yamaha took its place. scared the crap out of me.
any ideas or help???
