How do get the steering cable to move the motor from side to side? Its frozen up.
The 1978 85 hp mercury motor does not want to move side to side. I hit the grease fittting with some grease. Then I disconnected the steering cable because I I think the steering cable is seized from years of neglect, but the motor still does not seem to want to move from side to side. Any tricks or advice? I'm stumped.
Also how do I figure out what kind of steering cable I need to buy. The boat is a 1978 17 foot tri hull. I'll get more details tonight.
