No digimortal, he has stick steering. I don't know a lot about it but usually when steering goes bad, all you can do is replace the cable. Do not try to force it or you may end up ruining the control which will cause a lot of expense and headaches.

WisconsonNugs,<br /><br />Yes, you have stick steering.<br /><br />I don't like them, too confusing.<br /><br />Anyway, it is probably a Teleflex/Morse system and is of the rack and pinion type. You'll know as soon as you get it out.<br /><br />The cable is either frozen internally or most likely at the motor end. Once frozen they are junk. You can buy new cables.

so i have to buy a whole new steering system, because the cable going to the stick says factory installed do not remove or replace(this is written on a red ribbon)

If that's what is says, then yes. The "head" assembly is not that much extra.<br /><br />You can find steering assemblies here on iboats.
